Abstract: A medical lubricant applicator comprising: a dispensing head adapted to fit to a container containing a medical lubricant, the dispensing head including: (i) a nozzle having a discharge opening from which medical lubricant from the container is dispensed; (ii) a guide element arranged relative to the nozzle to provide guiding contact with an exposed surface of a medical instrument to which the dispensed medical lubricant is to be applied whereby in operation the nozzle is with the assistance of the guide element spaced from the exposed surface of the medical instrument to avoid contact with said exposed surface whilst the medical lubricant is directed toward the exposed surface for application of said lubricant to said exposed surface via the discharge opening of the nozzle.

Abstract: A working disinfectant solution comprising peracetic acid and at least one surfactant, prepared by the dilution of either a single-part or two-part concentrate for use in the disinfection or sterilisation of reusable medical devices such as endoscopes. The working solution exhibits rapid wetting characterised by a dynamic surface tension of less than 50 mN/m at 250 ms and 46 mN/m at 500 ms.

Abstract: A composition comprising: (a) a hydrogen peroxide source (b) an acetyl source (c) a peracetic acid bleachable dye wherein, in solution, colour generated by said peracetic acid bleachable dye is substantially discharged when a biocidally effective concentration of peracetic acid is achieved.

Abstract: A method of sterilizing a contact lens includes at least partially sterilizing the contact lens with an application of electrolyzed brine. A system for at least partially sterilizing a contact lens in initial packaging includes a generator for producing electrolyzed brine with biocidal activity, and a dispenser for dispensing a quantity of electrolyzed brine from the generator into the initial packaging with the contact lens.
