The vet clinic's hardest-working square foot

Veterinary reprocessing carries everything a medical steri room does — plus hair, organic load and dental tartar that make hand scrubbing slower and nastier. One benchtop tank absorbs all of it.

The vet clinic's hardest-working square foot

One tank, the whole clinic's dirty work

Surgical kits

Post-op instruments cleaned to pre-sterilisation standard — box joints, serrations and orthopaedic hardware, hands off the sharps.

Dental instruments & burs

Tartar scalers, luxators and burs — cavitation strips the mineral and organic load that makes veterinary dental kit the worst scrubbing job in the building.

Clipper blades & grooming gear

Hair, oil and skin residue out of clipper blades in minutes; blades cut cooler and last longer when the gullets are actually clean.

General equipment

Speculums, bowls, cages fittings, instrument trays — the standing backlog cleared on a timer while staff do clinical work.

Why clinics switch

Staff time back to animals

The scrub sink is skilled-nurse time spent on brushing. Ten unattended machine minutes buys those hands back every single day.

Sharps and zoonotic safety

Less handling of contaminated instruments means less exposure — the same WHS argument as human health, with fur on it.

One machine, every department

Surgery, dental, grooming and general practice share the tank on different cycles and chemistry — one bench asset earning across the whole clinic.

The machines clinics buy

High-volume referral hospitals move to MSX-class machines with larger baskets and duty cycles.

Questions from this trade

Asked every week

Can clipper blades and surgical instruments share the tank?
Share the machine, not the bath. Run them as separate cycles with the right chemistry for each, and change solution appropriately — the machine takes seconds to redose.
Does it remove dental tartar from instruments?
Yes — mineralised deposits on scalers and luxators are a classic ultrasonic job, and exactly the soils hand scrubbing struggles with.
What about endoscopes?
Only per the manufacturer's IFU — many flexible scopes must not be immersed or sonicated. Rigid accessories often can be. Check the IFU; we help you sort the list.
How loud is it in a clinic?
A working hum plus the cavitation hiss — lid on, it is conversation-level in the prep room and kinder than a barking ward.
Water and detergent cost?
A few litres per fill, dosed at label rate, changed when soiled — for most clinics the consumable line is dollars a week against nurse-hours saved daily.
