Sanitizing wipes are one of those things you can’t live without, especially in the dental office where cleaning is the necessary first step to disinfection. SciCan's award-winning OPTIM 1 Wipes are one-step disinfectant wipes that meet the standard for intermediate-level disinfection, effectively killing pathogens such as Norovirus. With a 1-minute tuberculosis broad-spectrum contact time, OPTIM 1 has been rated one of the most effec
tive cleaner and intermediate level disinfectants available. Being a one-step system with a 1-minute contact time, these wipes will save you time. Plus, you’ll likely use half as many wipes as other brands to keep surfaces wet long enough to achieve disinfection, which saves money.
OPTIM 1 falls in the lowest EPA toxicity category (IV), which requires no warning words, statements, or pictograms. Its active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, is also friendlier to the environment because it breaks down into water and oxygen, which reduces its impact upon disposal. Of course, if wipes are used to clean surfaces where blood or body fluids are present, they must be disposed of according to federal, state, and local regulations for infectious waste disposal. OPTIM 1 Wipes are effective for cleaning dental chairs, stools, lights, and counter tops. Note that if you are switching to OPTIM 1, clean these surfaces with soap and water to remove any residue left behind by your previous disinfectant.
