Rating of the best medical devices for cleaning and lubricating handpieces for 2022

Medical instrument tips can wear out fairly quickly. One of the main reasons for their failure is improper care. According to statistics, about 75% of the tips have become unusable for this very reason.

What equipment is needed for cleaning and lubricating medical tips

To keep medical handpieces in working condition, they must be regularly cleaned and lubricated using a special apparatus.It helps to remove absolutely all impurities, thoroughly lubricates the tips and prepares them for subsequent use.

What the machine does:

1. This device is primarily used for cleaning handpieces. It is able to remove a variety of contaminants, even in the most inaccessible places. This is possible thanks to special cleaning agents and advanced technologies that are used during the operation of the device.
2. The device is able to provide high-quality disinfection of equipment. This fact is very important, because the hygienic condition of any medical instrument must meet all existing requirements.

It is worth noting the fact that cleaning a lot of equipment, including medical tips, takes a lot of time. The thing is that such devices have many areas that are difficult to reach. Cleaning them by hand is very tedious, so the desire to simplify and improve this process is fully justified.

Today, there are a huge number of companies that specialize in the manufacture of devices for cleaning medical tips. They differ from each other in many ways, including:

1. Dimensions. These devices can be of different sizes. The market is full of both compact and very large devices. Sufficiently dimensional devices are able to simultaneously process a large number of tools, while compact ones can process only a few units.
2. performance. Device performance depends on several factors. One of them can be called the number of tools that can be processed at the same time.
3. Manufacturability. Modern manufacturers strive to improve equipment as much as possible.Each of them is trying to make their own additions to the operation of the device and do everything possible so that the result obtained is the best.

Turbine and mechanical handpieces: general recommendations

Today, the considered devices are used in all medical institutions.

Disinfection

Cleaning and sterilization of NSK turbines can be carried out using a thermodisinfector. After thermal disinfection, the device is used in accordance with all recommendations given by the manufacturer.

Autoclaving (sterilization)

All types of tips can be autoclaved, but only if preliminary preparation is carried out. After sterilization, it is extremely difficult to remove dirt from the instrument. This fact cannot be ignored. It is worth noting the fact that oils retain all their properties even after sterilization.

Main advantages

The service life of any medical equipment directly depends on how well it is cared for. This fact forces manufacturers to pay special attention to improving existing equipment and to find ways to sterilize and clean instruments that cannot have any negative impact on them. At the same time, certain solutions are applied for each field of medicine. For example, when processing the tips of instruments used in dentistry, it is important to consider that they need to be pre-cleaned and lubricated. If you neglect this rule, it will be impossible to call sterilization safe.

To perform such procedures, separate devices have been created. They perform internal cleaning and lubricate the handpieces. Such devices have many advantages, including:

1. The ability to extend tool life.
2. Significant reduction in repair costs.
3. Quick tool cleaning.
4. Cleaning of tips of any type.
5. Full automation. The device automatically performs all necessary operations.
6. Easy to use.
7. Good performance.
8. Low consumption of oils used for tool lubrication.
9. Safety of processed tools.

When choosing a device, pay attention to:

• cycle duration;
• types of tips that can be placed in the cleaning apparatus;
• device price;
• the experience of the company that produces it;
• the amount of oil used;
• need for compressed gas.
