BOHLER PLIER CLEANING AND CARE:

Initial Recommendations:

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

Preliminary Manual Cleaning:

• Initially, it should be hand washed with neutral soap.
• In the operating room, visible dirt should be removed as soon as possible to prevent encrustation, which can lead to corrosion.
• Avoid long waiting times for reprocessing (<1h).
• Dry cleaning is preferable, as medical devices may corrode if submerged in solutions for long periods.
• If dry cleaning is insufficient, they should be washed with cold water (< 40ºC), including cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, which should be washed with pressurized water. Avoid leaving unwashed areas. A plastic brush with soft bristles can be used.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Cleaning and Disinfection:

• Immerse the products in a solution of distilled water with an appropriate disinfectant in an ultrasonic bath or container.
• Follow the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions to select the wash program, temperature, and time.
• Clean instruments with movable joints in an open position or by moving the joints to avoid "shadow areas". Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dismantling detachable instruments.
• Secure instruments with minimum separation in the cleaning container and avoid overlap to prevent product damage from collisions.
• After the disinfection program, rinse the products with plenty of cold distilled water, paying particular attention to cavities, grooves, and hard-to-reach holes, if possible, with pressurized water.
• Thoroughly dry with an absorbent cloth that leaves no residue or with compressed air.

Lubrication:

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

Sterilization:

• Sterilize products considering applicable national requirements.
• The products must be sterilized in appropriate sterilization packaging.
