Ruhof Premixslip® is a non-oily, non-sticky, non-toxic, silicone free lubricant for surgical instruments. It prevents rusting, staining, spotting and tightness of surgical instruments and reduces costly repair and replacement. Premixslip® should be used on a regular basis on all surgical instruments with box joints to prevent tightening and sticking.

The dropper is ideal for small instruments and box joints.

WATER SOLUBLE VERSUS OIL BASED

The addition of oil-based compounds to the cleaning process is wrong in principle. They deliberately cause contamination over the entire cleaned surface. If they are to be used the water-soluble type should be used. Mineral oils have poor biocompatibility and may inhibit the penetration of steam or sterilant gases on terminally sterilized product.

Lubrication should only be applied to those areas where it is required during the inspection/packing process after thorough cleaning of the instrument.
