Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive Surface Disinfectant for Medical Devices Dispenser Pack

Product Overview

Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive are manufactured by B. Braun as a convenient, ready-to-use surface disinfection solution specifically engineered for alcohol-sensitive surfaces and medical devices. The impregnating solution combines propan-1-ol with the quaternary ammonium compound didecyldimethylammonium chloride, providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity without the material damage associated with conventional alcohol-based wipes. The formulation is aldehyde-free, amine-free, colourant-free and fragrance-free, minimising the risk of allergic sensitisation in healthcare workers.

The wipes are constructed from a synthetic non-woven PET fleece material that is soft, non-linting and designed to prevent scratching of delicate medical equipment surfaces. Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive demonstrate excellent material compatibility with acrylic glass (Makrolon), silicone rubber, latex, rubber, examination tables, vaginal probes and ultrasound transducers. The product has been rated "very good" in independent dermatological testing, confirming skin tolerability during routine clinical use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive over standard alcohol wipes?

Standard alcohol-based disinfectant wipes can cause crazing, discolouration and structural damage to acrylic glass, Makrolon, silicone rubber and other alcohol-sensitive materials. Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive use a propanol and QAC combination that achieves equivalent antimicrobial efficacy (1-minute contact time) while maintaining excellent material compatibility, extending the service life of expensive medical equipment.

What European standards do these wipes meet?

Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive are tested to EN 16615 (bactericidal and yeasticidal activity with mechanical action on surfaces), EN 13727 (bactericidal activity), EN 13624 (yeasticidal activity) and EN 14476 (virucidal activity against enveloped viruses). These standards are the benchmark for surface disinfectant efficacy testing in European healthcare facilities.

Are these wipes safe for use on ultrasound probes?

Yes. Meliseptol Wipes Sensitive are specifically validated for use on ultrasound transducers, including transvaginal and transrectal probes. The non-linting PET fleece prevents scratching of probe surfaces, and the formulation has demonstrated excellent compatibility with probe materials in manufacturer testing.

What is the shelf life after opening?

Once opened, the dispenser box should be reclosed promptly to prevent evaporation of the active solution. The wipes remain effective for the duration specified on the packaging when stored sealed at room temperature. Consult the product label for specific expiry information.
