The solution for maximum safety in podiatry: professional instrument disinfection

Instrument disinfection is an essential part of the daily work life of podiatry. Concentrates or ready-to-use solutions are predominantly used for instrument disinfection with you.

• Instrument disinfection concentrates are – as the name suggests – highly concentrated solutions that are diluted with water to produce a disinfection solution. In most cases, these solutions are highly effective and can kill a wide range of microorganisms. However, they require correct handling and dosing.
• On the other hand, there are ready-to-use solutions that are pre-mixed to the correct concentration and are so that they are ready for immediate use. These ready-to-use instrument disinfectant solutions are in most cases easier to handle and dose.

Podiatry instruments and equipment should ideally be disinfected using a specialised chemical disinfectant approved for use in medical facilities. We have a range of ready-to-use solutions and concentrates for instrument disinfection, suitable for use on surgical instruments or stainless steel rotary devices, for example. It is possible to use many instruments in an ultrasonic bath. One method of cleaning or disinfecting podiatry instruments is the immersion bath method. To reliably kill all germs, the instruments are left in the decontaminating solution for a certain period of time.

Why disinfecting instruments and equipment in podiatry is so important

In podiatry, instruments such as scissors and tweezers, along with various rotating drills, are used to treat the skin of the feet and the toenails professionally. If Podiatry Drills and instruments are not cleaned and disinfected accurately, infections can potentially be transmitted.

Regardless of the choice of disinfectant, it is therefore essential to clean and disinfect the instruments used properly. Whether nippers and scissors, nail instruments, files and rasps or rotating instruments such as drills, grinders or polishers: to minimise the risk of infection, adherence to a strict disinfection routine is essential in everyday podiatry practice.
