Difference Between Non-Sterile and Sterile Single-Use Instruments

In the previous blog, we learned about the advantages of single-use instruments. We also introduced the term “sterile single-use instruments.” Every instrument, i.e single-use instruments, must be sterilized before use. In simple terms, a sterile instrument has no microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, or any other contamination) on its surface.

Sterile vs Non-Sterile Single-Use Instruments

Freshly crafted single-use instruments have a lot of dirt and germs that a bare eye cannot see. End-users of instruments cannot use non-sterile instruments, as this would pose a risk to patient safety. Non-sterile instruments need to go through a proper sterilization process to become sterile. Therefore, sterilization is critical to ensure that instruments meet safety and hygiene standards. The following table shows the difference between a non-sterile and sterile single-use instrument:

The instrument is cleaned with IP and then packed. After using a sterile single-use instrument, one has to dispose of or destroy it because we know that single-use instruments can only be used once. If you do not know why read our blog written on single-use instruments.

Sterilization Services by Beauty Teck

The place where instruments are sterilized is called a clean room. BEAUTY TECK has its own cleanroom and EO (Ethylene Oxide) sterilization department, certified by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance). This certification ensures that our sterilization processes comply with international standards, providing our clients with instruments that are safe and ready to use. We carefully sterilize the instruments by establishing a clean environment, such as setting up a clean room with the proper humidity, temperature, and air quality, under industry standards.

This facility has been established by BEAUTY TECK for customers and end-users(doctors, surgeons and students) convenience, allowing customers to access sterilization services in addition to manufacturing. Customers can obtain ready-to-use sterile single-use instruments directly from this facility.

Conclusion

We understand why the sterility of an instrument is important. Surgical instruments come into contact with the external or internal parts of the human body, and to minimize the risk of infection, they must be properly sterilized beforehand. At BEAUTY TECK, we prioritize quality and safety. Our sterilization process is monitored and validated to ensure the highest standards of sterility. This commitment not only protects the end-users but also enhances the trust and confidence of our clients in the quality of our products.
