Why Is an Ultrasonic Cleaner Essential Equipment at a Medical Facility?

Many modern medical instruments are heat-sensitive, so they cannot be cleaned with high-pressure steam and sterilized in an autoclave. Parts such as electronics and optical fibers can be damaged when subjected to high temperatures. Since many medical instruments are delicate and have complex shapes, manual cleaning cannot clean them completely and can even damage them.

Medical ultrasonic cleaners are an excellent way for medical facilities to keep their high-tech medical instruments and devices clean and sterile.

How do ultrasonic cleaner systems work in cleaning temperature-sensitive medical instruments and devices?

The high-frequency sound waves produced by the ultrasonic cleaners remove organic matter, contaminants and other particles from part surfaces quickly and effectively. An approved disinfectant may be added to the solution in the ultrasonic cleaning tank to sterilize the parts.

One of the great things about medical ultrasonic cleaners is that they don't have to be monitored constantly. Medical personnel can place the devices and instruments into the ultrasonic cleaning tank, set the timer, and come back to remove the newly cleaned and sterile parts. To add, ultrasonic cleaners can provide highly effective cleaning and sterilizing solutions for these different tasks.

Several medical devices have hard-to-reach crevices and complicated shapes, which retain contamination even after sterilization. Such residues can cause infection. Ultrasonic cleaners remove all contamination, improving patient outcomes. There's also need for soaking in harsh cleaning solvents, therefore reducing chemical costs. Surgical instruments and other sharp medical devices can cause injury when they're cleaned manually. With ultrasonic cleaners, manual scrubbing and cleaning of sharp instruments is eliminated.

Ultrasonic cleaners are essential for cleaning temperature-sensitive medical instruments and devices. Medical facilities have different cleaning needs, such as cleaning newly manufactured devices and implants and cleaning re-usable instruments. All these cleaning needs can be fulfilled by ultrasonic cleaning systems that are specifically configured for a medical cleaning application.
