Distal Soak
Tubes fashioned from polypropylene, paired with silicone lids and a Plexiglas® tube holder (sold separately) for proper handling. The Distal Soak is designed to protect the delicate tips, and keep the distal end of surgical instruments moist after clinical use to facilitate cleaning. They come in two styles: With a closed hole cap that is filled with solution prior to inserting the device; Or, with an open hole cap design that is used when flushing the solution through the internal channel of the device in compliance with the device manufacturers IFU. Use of the Distal Soak will help to prevent drying of gross contaminants of the soiled device before cleaning procedures begin.
