Pre-Cleaning is the Most Important Pre-Requisite to Disinfection Diamond Blade Knife Care: Safe Reprocessing Without Breaking and adding up to $20,000 To the Bottom Line. While diamond blade surgical knifes are still preferred by top ophthalmol- ogists over steel knives for precise incisions that dissect tissue instead of tearing it, particularly for cataract surgery, the downside is that they are very fragile and expensive. Breakage can occur during cleaning before sterilization even without human error. Improper cleaning of the blades can also lead to a clear material buildup, invisible to the naked eye, that dull's the cutting edges. This can lead to unnecessarily sending the knife back to the manufacturer for costly cleaning and re-honing. For more information call (800) 448-0131 or email info@acpmedicalinc.com.
