To ensure that surgical equipment is maintained in optimal condition, it must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised after every procedure. 

The Ziacom cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation procedure is an agile, intuitive protocol that will help you to keep your surgical equipment in optimal condition always, allowing you to offer your patients outstanding results and guaranteeing their welfare throughout their entire treatment plan. It will also save your time and extend the life of your equipment. 

Quick and easy disassembly of parts 

Because the equipment used in surgical procedures must be taken apart for cleaning, all elements of Ziacom surgical boxes, including ratchets, drills and stops, are designed to come apart simply and intuitively. 

The different parts of the surgical or prosthetic boxes must also be disassemble. 

The importance of eliminating biological residue 

Before surgical equipment can be reused, all biological residue must be eliminated. 

To clean equipment properly, it must be immersed in a specific cleaning liquid for dental instruments. This helps to ease off any residue, which is then eliminated, using a non-metallic brush to ensure that the implements are not damaged. The parts are then washed using a pH-neutral detergent and rinsed in abundant water, before undergoing a final rinse in deionised water. 

Non-abrasive utensils must also be used, to avoid causing damage to the surface of the box itself. 

Disinfecting equipment with the patient in mind 

Disinfecting equipment correctly is essential to ensure that it is in optimal condition for the next procedure. 

Accordingly, instruments must be immersed in a disinfectant product specifically designed for dental instruments. 

When ultrasound equipment is used, instruments must be fully submerged in the ultrasound bath. 

Lastly, any remains of disinfectant must be removed by rinsing equipment in abundant deionised water and drying it with disinfected compressed air. 

Details matter. Inspecting for damage and residue 

Ziacom surgical equipment is of outstanding quality and resistance (all our surgical instruments are manufactured in stainless steel or titanium). Good cleaning and maintenance will extend its life even further. 

Because of this, we recommend that dental professionals examine all equipment minutely and replace any damaged elements. 

It is also essential to verify that all material is immaculately clean. If not, the cleaning and disinfection procedures must be repeated. 

Lastly, ensure that all pieces are absolutely dry before returning them to their box. 

At Ziacom, we are constantly developing solutions to streamline professional practice and enable you to give your patients only the best dental care. 

Lastly, remember that these cleaning, disinfection and disinfection protocols are mandatory and must be carried out by qualified professionals. These protocols apply equally to tools, surgical and prosthetic boxes, as well as orthodontic implants and abutments.
