An instrument anti-oxidation agent is a liquid solution designed to protect stainless steel medical and surgical instruments from corrosion and staining. It works by preventing oxidation and removing existing deposits such as well as inhibiting the formation of rust, protein residues, and oxide buildup on instruments such as forceps and specula, thereby helping to maintain their integrity and extend their usable life.
This type of agent is applied by soaking instruments manually or using an ultrasonic bath, following the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution and use. After a single application, the solution is not intended for reuse. Devices in this category are regulated as medical device accessories or processing aids, subject to general controls and any applicable jurisdiction-specific requirements for reprocessing products.
