Description
The Surg-Enz CST-404C Enzymatic Detergent Concentrate is a neutral pH multi-enzymatic detergent for surgical instruments and endoscopes. Its fast enzymatic action starts cleaning in less than one minute, so soil begins breaking down almost as soon as instruments hit the solution.
- Starts in under a minute – Fast enzymatic action begins cleaning in less than one minute of contact
- Three ways to use it – Works as a manual pre-soak, an ultrasonic cleaner and an automatic washer detergent
- Extra strength penetrant – Fast and effective removal of stubborn organic encrustation
- Bacteriostatic concentrate – Inhibits bacterial growth in the ready-to-use concentrate
About This Surg-Enz Enzymatic Detergent
Surg-Enz is the flagship enzymatic detergent of the Complete Solutions Technologies line, dosed at 1 fl oz (30 ml) per gallon of water for manual, automatic and ultrasonic applications. The optimal working temperature range is 120°F to 140°F, and the solution should not exceed 145°F. As a manual pre-soak, instruments rest in the diluted solution for a minimum of five minutes, and in an ultrasonic unit the cycle also runs at least five minutes. Programmed into an automatic washer, the machine delivers 1/4 to 2 fl oz per gallon depending on water quality and bioburden, with at least five minutes of cycle time. The formula is safe and effective for stainless steel, aluminum, tungsten carbide, copper and brass, and it rinses quickly without phosphates, chlorides or hydroxides. It is sold as listed, a 1 gallon container in a case of four.

Why Choose This Surg-Enz Enzymatic Detergent
Enzymatic detergents earn their place by starting work before staff have to scrub, and Surg-Enz begins in under a minute. It then follows instruments through whichever method the department uses, pre-soak, ultrasonic or washer, at one consistent dose. The bacteriostatic concentrate also stays fresher on the shelf between mixes.
- Shorter pre-soaks – Enzymes start breaking down soil in under a minute, so the five minute soak finishes the job
- Fewer chemistry SKUs – One concentrate covers three cleaning methods across instruments and endoscopes
- Metals stay protected – Neutral pH chemistry without phosphates, chlorides or hydroxides is safe on five instrument metals
- Predictable costing – A single 1 fl oz per gallon dose makes cost per load easy to calculate and control
