  Caring for your instruments  
 

All instruments can be damaged from improper use or cleaning. Damage may take the form of corrosion, stains, rust, or pitting. Instruments with joints- scissors, hemostats, sponge holders, are particularly vulnerable to damage from trapped moisture.

We recommend the following to help preserve the life of your instruments-

  • Clean with soap and water only- avoid abrasive cleaning powders and steel wool
  • Rinse with plain water
  • Dry thoroughly before storing
  • Avoid prolonged contact with the following-
    acids
    bases
    solutions containing mercury
    solutions containing sodium
    solutions containing potassium
    solutions containing barium
    strong saline solutions
    Lysol, phenol, or iodine
  • Do not sterilize stainless and chrome or gold plated instruments together
  • Do not steam sterilize gold plated instruments
  • Hemostats with insulated handles will likely be damaged by any sterilization process
