Beyond the Scrub: How Enzymes Are Shaping the Future of Medical Device Cleaning

Dive into the world of medical device reprocessing

 

Univar Solutions and Novonesis

In this episode of Straight Talk!, we take a deep dive into the world of medical device reprocessing (MDR)—a critical process that protects patients by ensuring reusable medical instruments are cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized properly.

Our expert guest panel explains what MDR involves, how it works inside healthcare facilities, and why agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, and World Health Organization place such strong emphasis on cleaning and validation standards.

We’ll also unpack how enzymes are changing the game. You’ll learn what they are, how they differ from chemical cleaners, the types of soils they target most effectively, and how companies like Novonesis are driving innovation through enzyme research and development.
