Electrosurgical lubricants, sterilized kits including the lubricants, methods for using the lubricants, and methods for preparing sterilized kits having the lubricants therein. Electrosurgical devices utilize a high frequency electrical current to cut and to coagulate tissue during surgery. A problem of the electrosurgical devices is that the heat thereof causes tissue, such as that of a human being, to remain on the device and is generally difficult to remove, even with repeated washings. The electrosurgical lubricants have been found to considerably reduce the amount of eschar that builds up on electrosurgical devices, decrease the tendency of electrodes to stick to tissues at the surgical site, and prevent damage to the surface of the electrosurgical device.

A single-step absorbent wipe for cleaning and disinfecting medical instruments includes various active ingredients as well as compounds that increase the efficacy profile of the product against various organisms, improve the buffering capacity of the formulation, enhance the antimicrobial efficacy against mycobacteria, increases the wetting and cleaning profile of the formulation, as well as adjusts the PH thereof. The disinfectant wipe provides a procedure to suitably clean and intermediate level disinfect medical instruments that are heat liable as well as non-submersible.

Ready to use cleaner/disinfectant wipe for cleaning medical instruments comprising a mixture of low and high HLB surfactants

A foaming antimicrobial composition, which includes a cationic antimicrobial, a combination of surfactants, skin conditioning agent(s), humectant(s), and water, is provided. The composition has excellent antimicrobial properties, while still maintaining skin hydration and mildness. Commonly, the foaming antimicrobial composition is triclosan-free.

Foaming antimicrobial compositions

A high foaming liquid alkaline cleaner comprises one or more alkalinity sources; one or more surfactants comprising a hydrotrope, one or more wetting and soil emulsifying surfactants, one or more foam volume generating surfactants, and one or more foam boosting surfactants and one or more sequestrants. Optionally, an organic solvent can be utilized. The high foaming liquid alkaline cleaning composition is generally prepared in a concentrated form and can be diluted as with water. The alkaline cleaner provides effective cleaning properties, with respect to fats, oils, and organic soils.
