What is good for the surgical instrument soaking solution

I used to use the new clean alcohol and then add sodium nitrite as anti-rust agent. Now use glutaraldehyde, do not know can not join the anti-rust agent. Do not add the equipment to rust. Which kind of soaking solution is good?

Answer:

If not infected surgery, then wash the first dry, then oil (with gauze rub), and then packaged to high temperature autoclave disinfection
Glutaraldehyde is a highly effective disinfectant. Because of the bactericidal spectrum is wide, the bactericidal spores are reliable, the bactericidal effect is less affected by the organic matter, the metal is corrosive and so on. It is suitable for the disinfection and sterilization of the heat-resistant medical equipment and precision instruments, especially the endoscope Disinfection and sterilization. However, since glutaraldehyde is potentially toxic to the human body and is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, some people are actively looking for alternatives to sterilization for endoscopes and other medical devices. The new dilution can be used to wash hands before surgery (0.05 to 0.1%, which can be used to remove the clothes, and it is easy to be preserved. It is a kind of anti- Soak for 5 minutes), skin disinfection and fungal infection (0.1%), mucosal disinfection (0.01 ~ 0.05%), disinfection equipment (0.1% solution in boiling for 15 minutes and then soaked for 30 minutes) Or other synthetic detergent used to avoid the use of aluminum containers, disinfection of metal equipment need to add 0.5% sodium nitrite rust, should not be used for cystoscopy, ophthalmic equipment and synthetic rubber disinfection. Gram-negative bacilli and intestinal The virus is weak and has no effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spores.
If the infection surgery, first wash and then boil for 30 minutes, followed by the same steps.
