Infection prevention
New cleanining system uses Sodium Bicarbonate Available from Med First Supplies, BICARmed is a new cleaning system for the pre-treatment of reusable medical devices prior to sterilisation. The technology uses a special compound of Sodium Bicarbonate and air pressure, allowing maximum removal of dirt from even the most complex instruments (robotics, endoscopic, electrosurgery and orthopaedic tools), ensuring homogeneity of the result and significantly increasing the performance of the entire reprocessing cycle. The Sodium Bicarbonate removes the biofilm, extending the life cycle of instruments and reducing maintenance cost. It is non-abrasive, non-corrosive, biodegradable and totally safe for the operators.
