Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument Cleaner: Care and Cleaning
How is the passive oxide layer of of Surgical Instruments Maintained?
The passive layer or Surgical Instruments stainless steel is intended to prevent or resist Surgical Instrument corrosion. The process is called “Passivation”. “Passivation” and Polishing eliminate the carbon molecules form the instrument surface. This forms a layer on Surgical Instruments which acts as a corrosive resistant seal. Passivation is a chemical process that removes carbon molecules from the surface of the Surgical Instruments. This chemical process can also occur through repeated exposure to oxidizing agents in chemicals, soaps, and the atmosphere. Polishing of Surgical Instruments, by the manufacturer, is a process used to achieve a smooth surface on the instrument. It is extremely important to polish an instrument because the passivation process leaves microscopic pits where the carbon molecules were removed. Polishing Surgical Instruments also builds a layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the Surgical Instruments.
With proper Surgical Instrument cleaning, Surgical Instrument handling, and sterilization, the layer of chromium oxide will build up and protect the Surgical Instruments from corrosion and /or pitting.
In some circumstances older surgical instruments are less corrosive than new ones.
The newer surgical instruments have not had the time to build up the chromium oxide layer.
Improper surgical instruments cleaning and sterilization can cause the layer of chromium oxide to disappear or become damaged.
This increases the possibility of surgical instrument corrosion and/or surgical instrument pitting. Proper surgical instrument cleaning and sterilization can cause the layer of chromium oxide to improve over time thus decreasing the possibility of surgical instrument corrosion and/or surgical instrument pitting.
Second only to the financial asset value of the working staff, the surgical instrument and scope inventory is the single most financially valuable asset of the healthcare facility. That is a why it is so important to properly clean, sterilize, handle, and store your instruments.

Product Development
The 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner
delivers a unique formulation of: detergents, "multi-tiered" "high-level" enzymes, and a neutral pH surfactant chemical complex.
The 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner will:
- remove surgical instrument stains,
- prevent surgical instrument pitting and corrosion,
- recondition water to avoid surgical instrument mineral encrustation,
- protect surface protection, and
- lubricates surgical instruments.
The 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner delivers:
- Protease enzyme detergent cleaners,
- Amylase enzyme detergent cleaners,
- Lipase enzyme detergent cleaners, and
- Carbohydrase enzyme detergent cleaners,
to quickly remove the most stubborn organic encrustation and bio-burden including: blood, fat, carbohydrates, starches, and protein. The 4 Enzyme DetergentSurgical Instrument cleaner breaks down and removes bioburden, clean the surface, remove stains, and condition the surface to prevent staining and corrosion and pitting. The “free rinsing” 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner conditions source water and counters the effects of hard water for spotless cleaning of Surgical Instruments.
The 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner will remove stains from surgical instruments. The 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner will prevent pitting and corrosion of surgical instruments. The 4 Enzyme Detergent Surgical Instrument cleaner will improve Surgical Instrument Washer performance.
