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 gluconate

solution. 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

Feature:

1.Mechanical Action

Proprietary polyethylene soft bristles enhance mechanical action while reducing skin irritation.

2.Gentle Cleaning

Soft sponge provides gentle cleaning on irritated areas or when firm mechanical action is not required.

3.Ergonomic Brush

Ergonomic brush design allows greater user comfort and effectiveness, ultimately improving compliant.

Surgical scrub brushes play an important role in the skin preparation process before surgery. The following are their specific application aspects:

• Preoperative Skin Cleaning: Before a surgical operation, the skin at the patient’s surgical site needs to be thoroughly cleaned to reduce the number of bacteria on the skin and lower the risk of postoperative infection. Surgical scrub brushes are usually used in conjunction with specialized skin cleansers. Medical staff will hold the scrub brush and wipe and scrub the skin at the surgical site and its surrounding area with appropriate force. For example, before an abdominal surgery, a circular wiping motion is performed from the center of the surgical incision outward to ensure that every part of the skin is cleaned. In particular, for areas with more hair, careful cleaning is required to remove dirt, oil, dandruff, and other substances.
• Pre-treatment Before Disinfection: Performing pre-treatment with a scrub brush before disinfecting the surgical site is a crucial step. Through the mechanical action of the scrub brush, impurities on the skin surface can be further removed, allowing the disinfectant to function better. For instance, in orthopedic surgeries, as the surgical site may have more contaminants such as dust and oil, using a scrub brush can effectively remove these substances, laying a good foundation for the subsequent disinfection work, ensuring the disinfection effect, and reducing the possibility of bacterial residues.
• Treatment of Special Areas: For some special surgical sites, such as the axilla, groin, perineum, and other areas with more skin folds and prone to harboring dirt, surgical scrub brushes can play a unique role. The skin in these areas is relatively sensitive and requires more meticulous treatment. Medical staff will use scrub brushes with soft bristles to gently clean deep into the skin folds. This can effectively remove dirt and bacteria while avoiding damage to the skin. For example, during a breast surgery, the treatment of the axillary area requires special care. Using a scrub brush can fully clean and prepare this area without damaging the skin.
• Application Differences in Different Types of Surgeries: The application of surgical scrub brushes also varies depending on different types of surgeries. In surgeries with extremely high aseptic requirements, such as ophthalmic surgeries, where the surgical site is relatively small and delicate, specially designed small and soft scrub brushes are used to precisely clean the skin around the eyes, ensuring a high level of cleanliness in the surgical area. In some major surgical operations, such as cardiac surgeries and hepatobiliary surgeries, where a larger area of skin needs to be cleaned, larger-sized scrub brushes are used to improve the cleaning efficiency and ensure that the skin of the entire surgical area is thoroughly cleaned and prepared.

Surgical scrub brushes are indispensable tools in the surgical process. Through their mechanical cleaning action, they provide good preoperative preparation for the skin at the surgical site, which is of great significance for reducing the risk of surgical infection, ensuring the smooth progress of the surgery, and the patient’s postoperative recovery.
