Sklar Cannula Instrument Cleaning Brush, Nylon
A nylon bristle cleaning brush from Sklar used to clean the inner channels of surgical cannulas and other hollow instruments before sterilisation.
The Sklar Cannula Instrument Cleaning Brush is fitted with a nylon bristle end and comes in a wide range of lengths and diameters across this listing, allowing sterile processing staff to match brush size precisely to the internal bore of the cannula or hollow instrument being cleaned. Cleaning the inner lumen of cannulated instruments thoroughly is a critical step before sterilisation, since residual tissue or fluid trapped inside a narrow channel can compromise sterility even after autoclaving.
Sterile processing departments, operating theatre reprocessing units and instrument decontamination teams use brushes like this as part of their standard manual cleaning protocol for reusable cannulated devices, working through each size to match the range of instruments passing through their department.
Facilities processing a broad range of orthopaedic, laparoscopic or urological cannulated instruments typically keep a full set spanning multiple diameters and lengths, since using an undersized or oversized brush reduces cleaning effectiveness on the specific instrument channel.
