It is important to consult with infection control mangement on disinfection of all instruments, even for non-invasive procedures.

For long instruments and probes unsuitable for high temperature sterilisation Decontamination Units can use our products DSS4125 & DSS8515.

Our Disinfection Sets offer a robust method to clean and disinfect.

For other long instruments which can be autoclaved or sterilised in H2O2 Sterilisation try container SMT5510.

Our case study last year from a UK hospital reveals the benefits. Please let us know if you would like to receive a copy.

SMT5510, DSS4215 & DSS8515 are available from stock. Contact us for special prices.
