Use of disposable series of laser handpieces

1- Contact area (part of the handle)
Based on the above classification, the contact area of ​​the handle of this device will be placed in the third category (non-critical) and accordingly, a low-level disinfectant should be used to clean it. In the following two types of suggested disinfectants will be presented along with relevant explanations.
1-1 alcohol
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol 70%) and isopropyl alcohol 60-70% (isopropanol) are effective antiseptics and disinfectants that have a good speed of action, but they also evaporate quickly and leave no traces. Alcohols are effective on mycobacteria but have no effect on spores. The activity and effect of alcohol on viruses is variable. Non-enveloped viruses such as poliovirus are more resistant to alcohols, especially isopropanol.




Ethanol is used with a concentration of 70% because its penetrating power and effect in this concentration is greater than absolute alcohol. For quick disinfection of clean and smooth surfaces and e
