How to Clean My Equipment

 

Each time after wound care is completed, follow these directions to clean the instruments:

 

  1. Fill a clean bowl with warm water and add dish soap.
  2. Wash each instrument in the warm water, removing anything visible.
  3. Rinse the instruments under the tap with warm running water.
  4. Lay instruments on a clean towel or paper towel and air dry them.
  5. Once the instruments are completely dry, put them in a clean, plastic container with a lid or a clean, sealable plastic bag.
  6. Close the lid of the container or seal the bag.
  7. When it is time to do your wound care, remove the instruments from the container or bag and complete your wound care.
  8. Repeat the cleaning procedure each time wound care is completed.
  9. Once the wound is closed and no more wound care is required, safely dispose of the instruments.
