At our practice, your safety is our top priority. In this paper, we will walk you through our step-by-step V-Vive™ disinfection & sterilisation cycle for our Dioxy4 (Laser Vaginal Tightening & Rejuvenation) probes. We want you to feel confident and informed about the meticulous process we follow to ensure your safety. So, let's embark on this journey together and explore the step-by-step disinfection protocol.

Step 1: Post-Treatment Transfer
After your Dioxy4 Vaginal Rejuvenation treatment, we disconnect the probe from the laser and transfer it onto a disposable tray. The disposable tray, containing the probe, is then carefully transported to our designated decontamination room. Here, we begin the meticulous cleaning process to remove any residual oil, debris, or biological material.

Step 2: Thorough Manual Cleaning
We utilize a specialized single-use brush tool laced with Chlorhexidine Disinfectant to manually cleanse the probe, ensuring a thorough removal of all contaminants. Chlorhexidine is a powerful antiseptic agent widely used in hospitals for its exceptional effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is known for its ability to disrupt the cell membranes of pathogens, rendering them inactive and unable to cause infection.
The Chlorhexidine Disinfectant Brush combines the mechanical action of the brush with the antimicrobial properties of chlorhexidine. Our technicians scrub the probe's surface using this tool, the bristles create a gentle friction that aids in dislodging and removing any adhered debris, oil, or biological material.
Chlorhexidine amplifies the cleaning efficacy by actively targeting and eliminating microorganisms that may be present on the probe's surface. Chlorhexidine binds to the cell membranes of pathogens, disrupting their structure and integrity. This disruption leads to leakage of cellular components, loss of cellular function, and ultimately, the inactivation of the microorganisms.
Furthermore, chlorhexidine has a residual effect, meaning it continues to provide antimicrobial activity even after the initial application. This residual effect offers extended protection against potential recontamination, further enhancing the overall cleanliness and safety of the probe.
