Ultrasound cleaning in podiatry

Fast and thorough reprocessing of podological instruments in an ultrasonic bath

Protecting health is always a top priority in podiatry and is becoming increasingly important. Medical foot care involves treating the skin and nails, which is associated with a risk of infection. In order to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and to protect patients and those providing treatment, particular attention must be paid to hygiene. In addition to surface disinfection of shelves and furniture, the safe reprocessing of tools is of great importance. Small tools such as forceps, tweezers, files and other accessories can be cleaned and chemically disinfected using an ultrasonic bath. The process ensures the effective removal of impurities such as blood, abrasion and skin flakes. Treatment in an ultrasonic bath is gentle on materials, saves time and is more economical in the long term than the use of disposable products.

Cleaning - Disinfection - Sterilisation

The use of an ultrasonic bath is recommended for cleaning the instruments. For example, the ultrasonic bath SONOREX RK 31 and the cleaning preparation TICKOPUR R 33 are optimally suited. After cleaning, the instruments are rinsed with tap water to remove residues of the cleaning agent and carefully dried. This is followed by disinfection with a suitable instrument disinfectant and finally sterilisation (e.g. steam sterilisation).

As an alternative, STAMMOPUR 24 can be used for cleaning and chemical disinfection.
