The Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray from MicroCare Medical™ is a ready-to-use neutral pH gel spray for medical instruments that rinses off easily, replacing the need for messy liquid soak pans.
Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray is formulated with biodegradable surfactants and wetting agents and is designed for pre-treating surgical instruments and medical devices to improve cleaning effectiveness and efficiency during subsequent cleaning steps.
In healthcare settings, proper instrument cleaning is required before high-level disinfection and sterilization, as inorganic and organic materials that remain on the device surfaces can interfere with the efficacy of the sterilization process.
With the use of Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray, surfactants maintain moisture and protect contaminated instruments during transport for up to 72 hours.
Safe, effective instrument disinfection
Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray delivers a simple, effective solution for sterile processing pros for use in even the most challenging orthopedic, neuro-spinal and gastrointestinal cases.
If soiled materials from surgical procedures dry or bake onto medical instruments, the removal process is more difficult, and disinfection becomes less effective. Surgical instruments therefore must be presoaked or rinsed prior to sterilization.
The Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray specifically features Humectant gel, helping to prevent soils from drying and hardening after instrument use. The Pre-Treatment Gel Spray leaves no sticky residue behind on carts or trays, rinsing off easily during cleaning.
Confidence in every clean
Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray Bag-on-valve technology keeps soils moist by administering broader spray coverage with more controlled delivery. The green-tinted gel foam allows for visible confirmation of coverage and compliance, providing confidence in every clean.
The Pre-Treatment Gel Spray is ideal for use in Central Sterile instrument processing areas in labor & delivery rooms, emergency departments, off-site healthcare facilities and more for spot treatment of heavy residual soils, or for when high caseloads lead to delays.
Neutral and non-corrosive
Spec Clean™ Pre-Treatment Gel Spray, with a neutral pH of 7.0-8.0, is non-corrosive, with no fragrance added, protecting delicate surfaces from corrosion during prolonged hold times.
The goal of pre-treating medical and surgical instruments is to preserve the value of the instruments being reprocessed.
The Pre-Treatment Gel Spray is compatible with a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, plastics, glass and delicate ophthalmic instruments.
