Improved Infection Prevention

Infections put patients in danger and are costly to facilities. Infections can be the result of contaminated instruments and ineffective cleaning. The ECRI listed Device Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization in their top five Patient Safety concerns for 2020. According to the FDA, 2-5% of endoscopes have bacterial contamination.

The PULL THRU™ Cleaning Brush helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination and infection by removing soil effectively. As you see in the studies that have been performed on the PULL THRU Cleaning Brush, it is able to remove soil more effectively than traditional manual cleaning using a bristle brush. Bristle brushes are not able to touch all the sides of the channel and create a complete seal. The PULL THRU Cleaning Brush forms a complete seal in the channel. The suction created by the seal also aids in pulling detergent into the channel, creating a secondary flush. The PULL THRU Cleaning Brush is an innovative brush created to improve infection prevention.
