Surgical instrument lubrication

Surgical instrument lubrication
Modern surgical instruments require specialized medical-grade lubricants that can withstand repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles without breaking down. These lubricants must be biocompatible in case of residue contact with patients, and water-resistant to protect against corrosion from steam sterilization. Unlike regular machine oils, surgical instrument lubricants leave minimal residue and won't interfere with the precision movements needed during delicate operations. A single autoclave cycle can reach 134°C, which would destroy ordinary lubricants within weeks of regular use.
