Cleaning and Disinfecting Medical Implants
Hip implants were cleaned in the VCN process using off the self hydrogen peroxide concentrations of 3%. The results were acceptable implants well within the required levels for bio burden, toxicity and total carbon.

MEDICAL PARTS CLEANER THAT CLEANS INTERNAL SURFACES
The video shows vapor bubble formation within an internal porous matrix. The porous part behaves like a sponge during the pulsing VCN process. Fluid is expelled from the part during the vacuum cycle as when squeezing a sponge and then the pores are filled with fresh fluid during the pressure cycle as when a sponge is submerged in a fluid.
