thermosept® X-tra – outstanding cleaning performance with cost savings

August 07, 2019

thermosept® X-tra is an innovative detergent for the safe and gentle cleaning of medical instruments and accessories.

A recent study¹ has demonstrated that thermosept X-tra offers economic and environmental savings as 25% less product can be used compared to other similar enzymatic detergents, without any compromise on efficacy. At a 25% lower dosage thermosept X-tra achieved a comparably good cleaning result in terms of protein removal and various other cleaning indicators. It also demonstrated overall improved material compatibility for various test materials^,including sensitive materials such as anodised aluminium and non-ferrous metal.¹  

Specially formulated for use with automated instrument reprocessing units, thermosept® X-tra offers exceptional cleaning properties, through the use of high performance enzymes in an innovative detergent system, which includes surfactants. Even at low doses thermosept® X-tra removes organic contaminants such as blood, proteins, tissue residues as well as mucus and fatty impurities.

A new online CPD accredited course, ‘Disinfection selection for reprocessing flexible endoscopes’ has been designed in conjunction with the Institute of Decontamination Sciences and is now available from schülke. The course delivers 45 minutes of verifiable CPD and is suitable for all staff involved in endoscope decontamination.
