CIDEX® 4L High-Level Disinfectant & Chemical Sterilant

CIDEX® 2.4% Activated Glutaraldehyde is the industry standard for the high-level disinfection (HLD) of semi-critical medical and dental instruments. This 4-liter (approximately 1 gallon) high-capacity container is designed for busy clinics and hospital reprocessing departments. It provides a broad-spectrum kill against resilient pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, viruses, and vegetative bacteria. When activated with the included buffer, the solution provides up to 14 days of reusable potency, making it an economical choice for decontaminating heat-sensitive equipment like endoscopes, surgical tools, and dental mirrors.

Clinical Advantages

Maximum Efficacy: Destroys 99.9% of pathogens; achieves HLD in 20 minutes at 20°C.
Material Safety: Non-corrosive formula safe for stainless steel, brass, copper, plastics, and elastomers.
Extended Reuse: Once activated, the solution can be reused for up to 14 days (monitor with test strips).
Bulk Economy: Large 4L volume is ideal for filling large immersion trays and automatic reprocessors.

Indications & Clinical Use

Sterilization of heat-sensitive instruments that cannot be autoclaved.
Disinfection of flexible and rigid endoscopes and anesthetic equipment.
Reprocessing of dental surgical instruments, handpieces, and mirrors.
Use in dedicated instrument soaking stations.
