Decontamination Buckets

Description

Decontamination Buckets are essential components in the sterile processing workflow, specifically designed for the collection, soaking, and transport of used or contaminated surgical instruments, endoscopes, and medical tools prior to sterilization. These buckets are widely used in CSSDs (Central Sterile Services Departments), operating rooms, and dental and outpatient clinics to facilitate effective pre-cleaning and infection control.

Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or stainless steel, decontamination buckets are chemically resistant, durable, and compatible with enzymatic cleaners and disinfectants. They typically feature tight-fitting lids to minimize exposure to biohazardous materials and reduce the risk of cross-contamination during transport.

Many models come with graduated markings for accurate dilution of cleaning agents, and some include inserts, instrument trays, or drainage baskets to separate instruments and allow for easy rinsing. The ergonomic handles ensure safe and easy handling, even when filled with liquids or instruments.

These buckets play a vital role in maintaining best practices for reprocessing medical equipment, helping ensure patient safety and adherence to hospital infection control protocols.
