Care and Maintenance


Cleaning, Lubrication and Resharpening/Preventive Maintenance
The shafts and tips of ACUFEX™ Instruments are of specially formulated and treated surgical
stainless steel for optimum sharpness and resistance to corrosion. However, correct care
and maintenance are important in optimizing the performance of your instruments. Please
use the information here to protect your investment.

Cleaning
Whenever possible, use demineralized, distilled water, when cleaning your instruments.
Mineral deposits and impurities in tap water can lead to corrosion. For washing, use a
detergent or solution pH (7.0 to 11.0) for safe cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaners may be used to
clean your instruments. After cleaning, dry the instruments to prevent water impurities from
collecting on surfaces. Replace the instruments in the ACUFEX Sterilization Trays between
uses to protect the instrument tips.

Lubrication
To protect instruments from staining and rusting prior to sterilization or storage, dip
instruments into a water-soluble antimicrobial lubricant, following manufacturer’s
instructions. The lubricant will help to free stiff instruments; if dipping does not free an
instrument, try soaking it overnight.

Resharpening/Preventative Maintenance
Instruments need to be inspected and evaluated on a regular basis to determine whether
resharpening, realignmentß or refurbishment is needed. Routine service will aid in promoting
proper function and performance. Only sharpening by Smith & Nephew can maintain and
restore the sharpness of the cutting blade or tip to our original manufacturing specifications.
Regular maintenance and the use of a Smith & Nephew facility for resharpening will increase
the life of the instruments.
