Solutions To Syringe Disinfection

Using boiling method to disinfect syringes is one of the important methods in medical practice. However, medical institutions do not always have distilled water, and sometimes it is often necessary to boil and disinfect syringes in places other than medical institutions. Most of the hard water taken out from the well is not suitable for boiling the syringe, because there may be many deposits in the syringe wall and on the piston after boiling, which will greatly hinder the use of the syringe. In addition, the sediment on the syringe wall is also extremely difficult to remove. Although adding alkali can soften hard water, it is contraindicated for penicillin injection and some other drugs, and it can quickly corrode the scale on the syringe. In addition to distilled water, water obtained by melting clean rainwater and snow can be used, but this kind of water is not often available.

Can the well water be softened by other methods without adding alkali? The answer is possible. In order to soften the well water, boil the water for a few minutes, and then place it for cooling, so the alkali in the boiling water will precipitate to the bottom of the vessel.

This precipitated water can be used to disinfect syringes.

Using this method to soften water for boiling syringes is simple and convenient. A large amount of soft water can often be obtained by using this method. Boiling the sterilizer with soft water has a great impact on improving the use of syringes and the quality of injections.
