Matrix® is a breakthrough in validated cleaning protocols. Matrix® has been demonstrated to remove conventional biological soils and bacterial biofilms. Cleaning of Medical Devices has been identified as the critical first step in any effective instrument reprocessing system. Bacterial biofilms in which both bacteria and other micro-organisms may be imbedded are more difficult to remove than conventional biological soils alone. Traditional cleaning solutions, most notably enzymatic detergent cleaners, have been demonstrated to be ineffective against bacterial biofilm soiling. Disease causing organisms have been proven to be transferred when protected within biofilms on improperly cleaned Medical Devices.

Matrix® is specifically designed for use in Endoscopy, Central Sterilizing Departments and Dental Practices.
