Enzyme usage in medical cleaning

Novozymes' enzymatic solutions for medical detergents are effective, powerful cleaning aids. During the cleaning process, enzymes or biomolecules speed up reactions, specifically targeting the organic matter commonly found in medical-type soils and decontaminating medical devices and surgical instruments. As a gentler cleaner, they are less harsh on delicate medical instruments and devices and readily biodegradable.

Dose, temperature and material application matter. Medical detergents need the proper enzyme dosage to be effective at the speed required in medical cleaning. Enzymes also work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, so choosing the proper enzyme depends on the job – and hospitals, medical and health care facilities get the full benefit of an optimal cleaning detergent. When selecting a detergent for your medical cleaning application, inquire about enzyme dosage in the desired product. Technical experts at Univar Solutions and Novozymes can provide guidance on the most effective products and enzymatic solutions for your detergent needs.

Breakthrough biosolutions for

health care cleaning

Deep sanitization for medical instruments

Everis™ Next is a unique and patented phosphodiesterase (PDE) – a nuclease – that removes free DNA soils. Novozymes' patented nuclease application is a breakthrough in the bioinnovation space, specifically targeting these contaminants through detergent ingredients. This technology is only available from Novozymes and represents a brand-new enzyme class for detergents that can be used to help prevent health care associated infections.

Did you know:

Protease and lipase are the two most used enzymes for cleaning medical devices today. Proteases break down protein-rich soils like blood, while lipases target fatty soils like adipose tissue (body fat). Combining multiple enzymes, including amylases and cellulases, with a properly formulated detergent naturally helps break down human soils and waste in health care environments.
