Clinical clean with powerful enzymes

Take a closer look at the role enzymes can play in medical detergent.

Reducing HAI risk is essential

Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) burden healthcare systems worldwide. In the US, the CDC* estimates annual HAI costs at $28–$45 billion and around 72,000 lives lost. Effective cleaning is key to preventing HAIs. Enzymes are vital in reusable medical device cleaning, from presoak to washing. Without proper cleaning, medical instruments cannot be sterilized. The right enzymes at the right dosage help remove stubborn soils and reduce HAI risks.

Enzymatic medical detergents

Enzymes rapidly break down clinical soils like protein, fat, carbs, and DNA on reusable medical devices. They are gentle on delicate tools like endoscopes and improve cleaning compared to non-enzymatic and alkaline detergents. Importantly, they’re safe, effective solutions powered by nature.
