The H478 Black Edition straight pliers, 12.5 cm, feature an ergonomic design with a glossy black finish and a smooth texture, making cleaning and stain detection easier. Ratchet lock for enhanced safety.

The new professional instrument range Black Edition from Herbitas ensures greater durability of the instruments thanks to a unique surface coating. This coating gives stainless steel a harder consistency, with less risk of deformation. Moreover, it not only improves the appearance but also provides high resistance to corrosion, extending its lifespan.

USAGE INDICATIONS FOR PLIERS:

CLEANING AND CARE:

Initial recommendations:

• Perform a visual and mechanical inspection of the new surgical instrument.
• Visible dirt should be removed as soon as possible to prevent residue from drying.
• Avoid long waiting times before cleaning and disinfecting the instrument.

Preliminary manual cleaning:

• Initially, it should be washed by hand with neutral soap.
• In the operating room, the most apparent dirt should be removed as soon as possible to avoid encrustation that could lead to corrosion.
• It is essential to avoid long waiting times before reprocessing (<1h).
• Dry cleaning is preferable since medical devices can suffer corrosion if submerged for long periods in solutions.
• If dry cleaning is insufficient, washing with cold water (< 40ºC) is necessary, including cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, which should be cleaned with pressurized water. Ensure no areas are left uncleaned. A soft-bristled plastic brush may be used.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent lint-free cloth or compressed air.

Cleaning and disinfection:

• Immerse the instruments in a solution of distilled water with a suitable disinfectant in an ultrasonic bath or cleaning tank.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for selecting the washing program, temperature, and time.
• Clean instruments with movable joints in the open position or by moving the joints to avoid “shadow areas.” Follow the manufacturer's instructions for disassembling detachable instruments.
• The instruments must be placed with a minimum separation between them in the cleaning container and avoid overlapping to prevent damage due to impact.
• At the end of the disinfection program, rinse the products thoroughly with distilled cold water, paying special attention to cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, preferably with pressurized water.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent lint-free cloth or compressed air.

Lubrication:

• Use the Sterilit Protector Instrumental (ref. 13.859.1 and 13.859.2) to protect the instrument.
• Attach the provided white plastic tube to the spray and apply the aerosol oil directly to the joint area or hard-to-reach zones.
• Open and close the instrument several times to distribute the oil evenly and remove excess oil with a lint-free cloth. Then, proceed with sterilization, as the oil film is steam-permeable. It will act as a lubricant and anti-corrosive without leaving stains on the instruments.

Sterilization:

• Sterilize the instruments in accordance with applicable national requirements.
• Sterilization of the instruments must be carried out in suitable sterilization packaging.
