Frequently asked questions
Does this gel prevent surgical soil from hardening?
Yes. The Pre-Klenz Point of Use Gel is specifically formulated to maintain moisture on surgical instruments. By coating the soil, it prevents it from drying out or hardening, which ensures a much more efficient cleaning process when the instruments reach the sterile processing department.
Is this spray safe for delicate surgical instruments?
Absolutely. The formula features a neutral pH and is enriched with corrosion inhibitors. This makes it highly compatible with a wide range of surgical materials, protecting sensitive devices from the damage often caused by harsher cleaning agents.
Can this gel improve workplace safety for staff?
Yes, it significantly improves safety and ergonomics in two ways: 1. It allows for soil removal and pre-cleaning without requiring direct handling of contaminated instruments. 2. It is a lighter alternative to traditional transport methods that require heavy, liquid-filled trays.
How quickly should this product be applied?
For optimal results, it should be applied immediately following surgical procedures. Applying it at the point of use creates a protective barrier that keeps soils hydrated until the instruments can be fully processed.
Does the gel leave behind an unpleasant clinical odor?
No. The product is formulated with a pleasant Floral Citrus scent, which helps maintain a more comfortable environment in operating rooms and procedure rooms.
Is this product effective on complex surgical devices?
Yes, the gel consistency is designed to cling to instruments, including complex devices. It stays in place to ensure that every surface remains hydrated until they reach the decontamination area.
Does the spray can provide even coverage?
Yes, the product is packaged in a convenient spray can designed for rapid, even application, ensuring that instruments are thoroughly coated with minimal effort.
What is the primary function of the surfactants included?
The surfactants are key components that help initiate the decontamination process by breaking down organic soils while the gel remains on the instruments during transport.
Where is this product best utilized?
It is ideal for high-paced medical environments, including: <ul><li>Operating rooms</li><li>Ambulatory surgery centers</li><li>Procedure rooms</li></ul> It is a standard tool for optimizing the reprocessing workflow for medical devices.
Is this a ready-to-use solution?
Yes, this is a ready-to-use (RTU) gel. There is no mixing or dilution required; you can simply spray it directly onto the instruments at the point of use to begin the cleaning process immediately.
