How to Choose the Right Lubricant for Medical Surgical Instruments

Feb. 11, 2025

Precision surgical instruments are finely structured, complex, and delicate, designed for specialized surgeries with unique cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization requirements. With the continuous improvement of surgical treatment levels and the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, a large number of precision surgical instruments are used in surgeries. According to domestic surveys, the usage rate of precision surgical instruments in departments such as ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat), ophthalmology, neurosurgery, dentistry, orthopedics, and cardiothoracic surgery has reached over 50%. These instruments are complex, delicate, and expensive, prone to wear, and difficult to clean. Improper cleaning can directly affect sterilization quality, shorten the service life, and even cause patient infections. Therefore, standardized and scientific cleaning is crucial to ensure cleaning quality and prevent and control healthcare-associated infections.

Lubricants play a protective role on the surface of medical instruments, preventing rust and corrosion in high-temperature, high-humidity, and high-contamination environments, thereby extending the lifespan of the instruments. After cleaning, soaking the instruments in a lubricating anti-rust solution for a certain period forms a protective film on the surface without the need for scrubbing. This method is suitable for high-pressure steam sterilization, providing lubrication, rust prevention, and antibacterial effects.

Currently, conventional methods for cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization monitoring of precision instruments in China follow the national health industry standard WS310.3-2016, "Hospital Disinfection Supply Center Management Regulations."
