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.
