Description
The Certol Spec Clean Enzymatic Detergent Sponge is pre-saturated with 0.5 oz (15 mL) of ProEZ AW Quad enzymatic detergent, measured and ready at the bedside. The round sponge wipes down the endoscope’s insertion tube immediately after the procedure and draws detergent through the channels, starting pre-cleaning before transport.
- Pre-Measured Dose – Each sponge carries exactly 0.5 oz (15 mL) of quad enzymatic detergent, so bedside pre-cleaning dose is never a guess.
- Bedside Timing – Wiping and suctioning detergent at the point of use is the step guidelines want done immediately, and the sponge makes it a ten second task.
- Two Step Action – One product wipes the exterior and then provides the detergent drawn through suction and biopsy channels.
Pre-Saturated Sponges for Endoscope Bedside Pre-Cleaning
Endoscope reprocessing succeeds or fails at the bedside, where the first wipe and channel flush decide how much soil dries inside the scope. These sponges package that step: a large round sponge (5.9 x 3.7 in) saturated with the same four enzyme detergent the manufacturer sells for washers, in a single use format. The tech wipes the insertion tube, then suctions the remaining detergent through the channels before the scope leaves the room. One hundred sponges come in a case, ready to stock at every procedure room. Endoscopy units formalizing their bedside pre-cleaning per guideline are the audience.

Why Choose the QEZ2 Sponge

- Guideline Step, Packaged – The wipe plus channel flush sequence is the documented bedside protocol, ready in one item.
- Same Enzymes as the Washer – Pre-cleaning starts with ProEZ AW Quad, so chemistry is continuous from bedside to washer.
- No Mixing at the Bedside – Pre-saturation removes sinks, measures and mixing from rooms that should not have them.
- One per Scope Discipline – Single use format makes the correct behavior the only behavior available.
