Autoclave & Cleaning Instructions

Medicore surgical instruments are designed for long-term reusability under heavy hospital cycles. Follow these standard cleaning parameters:

• Pre-Cleaning: Rinse instrument under running water immediately after procedure to prevent blood drying.
• Ultrasonic Cleaning: Use neutral pH enzymatic solutions for 5 to 10 minutes at 40°C.
• Steam Autoclaving: Standard cycle parameters are 134°C (273°F) for 3 to 5 minutes or 121°C (250°F) for 15 minutes.
• Drying: Ensure instruments are fully dried prior to storage. Inspect and apply instrument oil to hinges.

Caution: Avoid chloride or abrasive acidic solutions, which degrade the passive chromium layer, leading to premature pitting.

Medical Regulatory Certification

All Medicore instruments are cataloged and laser-marked with CE, SKU, and ISO markers for medical traceback audit compliance.
