Endozime® InstruSponge™-1

Endozime® InstruSponge™ Enzymatic Sponge on a Flexible Wand Designed to clean internal channels of Endoscopes, Flexible Fiberoptics, Cannulated and Laparoscopic Instruments. Pre-saturated With Endozime® AW Triple Plus Enzymatic Detergent Endozime® InstruSponge™ is impregnated with Endozime® AW Triple Plus® with APA (Advanced Proteolitic Action) and is attached to a flexible plastic wand that allows for easy maneuvering through complex internal channels, cannulas and lumens to loosen and expel gross contaminants. Unlike conventional channel wire bristle brushes that can cause scarring on instrument walls, InstruSponge™’s foam tip gently wipes clean the inside surface of the internal channels, cannulas, and lumens while instantly and actively digesting bioburden upon contact. Dipping foam tip in water immediately activates the enzymes. Features • Ready-to-clean!

Dip foam tip in water to activate the enzymes. 2. Insert foam tip into the channel and feed the InstruSponge™ through with short assertive strokes until the tip appears through the distal end. (If there is some resistance from bioburden lodged in the channel gently move back and forth until path is clear and continue feeding the InstruSponge™ through.) 3. When the sponge tip surfaces from the distal end, draw the wand forward until it is completely removed. (You don’t want to pull the wand back and out of the original opening. This may redeposit bioburden.) 4. Thoroughly rinse off the sponge tip and repeat this process 2 more times or until there is no visible debris left on the sponge.
