Effectively cleaning and sterilizing surgical instruments is key to avoiding infection and keeping patients safe.

How Does It Work?

This extremely effective multi-enzymatic detergent features a unique, patented green formulation. One of very few FDA approved multi-tiered enzymatic detergents in the U.S., EcoZyme contains a variety of safe enzymes and surfactants designed to break down organic and inorganic biological residue.

Another advantage? The EcoZyme feed rate is half of most competitive products on the market and has a shelf life of two years. So, not only are you quickly cleaning instruments with reduced effort but you are cutting your environmental impact. Feeding a lower dose, not only saves costs, but it also reduces work for you staff. Less time changing out detergent bottles, along with a lower amount of plastic heading to the landfills. The stability of the enzymes allows your staff to utilize their sink longer with the same effectiveness. Longer sink turns, cuts down on work, and leads to cost savings.

Where (And For What) are These Detergents Used
