Basic information on the SURGICAL PROCEDURE - Straumann

instruments with high cutting performance are a basic requirement for successful
implantation. the following should therefore be remembered:
p never allow instruments to land on their tips.
p every instrument must be used only for its particular intended purpose.
p Dirty instruments should be placed in a bowl of ringer‘s solution
(avoid allowing blood or tissue residue to dry on them).
p residues of blood, saliva, tissue or bone must be removed from the instruments
immediately after surgery. every piece of residue that adheres to the instruments
and dries on them leads to corrosion.
p multi-part instruments (e.g., ratchet, internally cooled trephine drill)
must be disassembled for sterilisation and storage.
p used instruments must always be placed in a suitable medium for disinfection
prior to cleaning.
p Dirty instruments must be placed only on the intended surface
(cassette lid or appropriate dish).
p never disinfect, clean (including ultrasonically) or sterilise instruments made of
different materials together.
p Damaged instruments must be sorted and disinfected and cleaned separately
and discarded.
p never store instruments damp or wet for prolonged periods.
you will find detailed <strong>information</strong> in the brochure “care and maintenance of surgical
and prosthetic instruments“ art. no. 152.008.
Ultrasonic Cleaning Cassette
the ultrasonic cleaning cassette ensures
optimal storage during instrument
disinfection and cleaning in the ultrasonic
bath.
p
the pimpled silicone mat prevents
the cutting edges of the instruments
from coming in contact, which
would have a negative effect on
their cutting performance.
