Bioburden doesn’t wait. Neither should we.

The first hour after use is critical: wipe, flush, and keep instruments moist before biofilm gets a head start. Skip these steps, and the whole reprocessing chain is at risk.

Our new newsletter highlights how to make compliance simple — not stressful:

- Why delays and the wrong tools cost you downstream
- 5 quick POU care tips you can share with your team today
- How EcoZyme First Touch and Foam Spray keep soil from drying and instruments safe until decontam

Bottom line: protecting patients starts with protecting your SPD/MDRD. When the right tools are in the field, best practice becomes automatic.

The “Invisible Bioburden” You Don’t See When instruments leave the field, they don’t leave bioburden behind. Blood and tissue begin drying the moment they hit air.

11/07/2025

When pre-cleaning sprays are hard to see or inconsistent, it's difficult to know if you’ve fully coated the instrument.

Missed spots can lead to dried bioburden, failed reprocessing, or added strain on techs during inspection and cleaning.

EcoZyme Foam Spray uses a white, visible foam for confident coverage and safer workflows.

“No odor. Easy to use. Like that it is a white foam so I can see it on the instrument,” - Shane, Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital

Dual-enzymatic formula dissolves debris fast
Keeps instruments moist for up to 72 hours
No dyes, fragrances, or aerosols

When you can see the clean, you can trust the clean.

In SPD/MDRD, the work is constant and the pace is relentless. Instruments never stop moving, and neither do you.

This week, and every week, we stand with SPD.
