Surgical scrub brushes

Surgical scrub brushes aim to provide a reliable method for hand antisepsis in removing debris and

transient microorganisms, to reduce resident microorganisms to a minimum and to promote rapid

growth on the hands, nails, and forearms of the surgical personnel.

Our surgical scrub brushes are laced withpovidone-iodine or chlorhexidine gluconatesolution. A broad-spectrum, fast-acting andpersistent antimicrobial solutions utilized for asurgical hand scrub, patient preoperativeoperation, and topical antiseptic.It’s aremanufactured following strict GMP, ISO13485:2016, CE and USFDA standards.

In the precise and rigorous procedures of surgical operations, surgical scrub brushes are a crucial part in ensuring a sterile environment in the surgical area, and their importance cannot be underestimated.

Surgical scrub brushes are mainly used for the cleaning and disinfection preparation of the patient’s skin at the surgical site as well as the hands and arms of medical staff before surgery. When dealing with the patient’s surgical site, it is necessary to remove dirt, grease and transient microorganisms on the skin surface to reduce potential sources of infection. For example, before a coronary artery bypass graft surgery, the chest skin should be carefully cleaned with a scrub brush to create a clean foundation for the operation. For medical staff, thorough cleaning of their hands and arms before surgery is a necessary measure to prevent bacteria from being introduced into the surgical wound. By using scrub brushes in combination with special cleaning agents, various microorganisms on the hands and arms can be effectively removed, reducing the risk of postoperative infections.

These scrub brushes have many distinct features. Their brush heads are scientifically designed. The bristles are usually made of soft yet tough materials, which can ensure that dirt and bacteria can be effectively removed during the scrubbing process without causing damage to the skin. For example, special medical nylon bristles, after fine processing, can provide sufficient friction while taking care of the skin. The handles are ergonomically designed, making it convenient for medical staff to hold and operate them. Even after long-term use, it is not easy to feel fatigued. In addition, the scrub brushes have good chemical compatibility and can be used in combination with various surgical cleaning agents without affecting the cleaning and disinfection effects due to chemical reactions.

When using surgical scrub brushes, there are a series of strict precautions. Firstly, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness and sterility of the scrub brushes before use. This requires following strict disinfection and storage procedures. Usually, methods such as high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization or ethylene oxide sterilization are adopted, and they are stored in sterile packaging. During the use process, scrubbing should be carried out according to the prescribed operation steps and sequence. For example, when scrubbing hands, it should start from the fingertips, and scrub evenly and with appropriate force in the order of finger seams, palms, backs of hands, wrists and arms, and each part should be thoroughly cleaned. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to controlling the scrubbing force to avoid excessive force that may cause skin damage and increase the risk of infection. After use, the disposal of the scrub brushes is also crucial. They need to be cleaned, disinfected and dried in a timely manner for the next use.

Surgical scrub brushes, relying on their crucial application in the preoperative preparation process and their scientific design features, have become important tools for ensuring surgical safety and reducing the risk of infection. Although they seem ordinary, they play an indispensable role in every surgical operation, laying a solid foundation for the success of patients’ surgeries and their postoperative recovery.
