Abstract: A cleaning device for surgical instruments including a body and an abrasive cleaning surface. The body defines a mounting interface, an instrument opening, and an interior volume. The mounting interface is engaged with a vacuum source, such as a surgical evacuator, to place the interior volume in fluid communication with the vacuum source. The abrasive cleaning surface is disposed within the interior volume proximate the instrument opening whereby the surgical instruments can be inserted through the instrument opening to engage the abrasive surface and thereby clean the instruments. In some embodiments, the cleaning device is placed in an outer sealed package to maintain the sterilized condition of the device which may be discarded after a single use to thereby provide a convenient pre-sterilized and disposable cleaning device. A method of cleaning a surgical instrument is also disclosed.
