An Insight Into Our V-Vive™ Decontamination and Sterilisation Cycle (Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation)

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.

Step 3: Cavitation Immersion with Enzymatic Disinfectant Solution

In this crucial step, we utilize an intelligent technique called Cavitation combined with an enzymatic disinfectant solution to further enhance the disinfection process. Let's explore the science behind ultrasonic cleaning and the mechanism of action of the enzymatic disinfectant solution.

Ultrasonic cleaning involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to create tiny bubbles in a liquid, a process known as cavitation. These bubbles rapidly form and collapse near the surface of the probe, generating microscopic shock waves. The implosion of these bubbles creates intense localized pressure and energy, resulting in a unique cleaning mechanism.

As the probe is submerged in the ultrasonic bath, the cavitation bubbles continuously form and collapse around its surfaces. This phenomenon creates a scrubbing action at the microscopic level, effectively dislodging and removing even the most stubborn debris, contaminants, and microorganisms.

‍

Step 4: Cavitation Induced Scrubbing

With the probe immersed in enzymatic solution, we activate the cavitation bath whose power lies in its ability to reach areas that are difficult to access manually. The microscopic bubbles can penetrate into crevices, fine grooves, and other intricate parts of the probe, ensuring a thorough cleaning process. Enzymatic disinfectant solution contain specific enzymes that target and break down various types of biological material, such as proteins, blood, and other organic substances. These enzymes work by catalyzing chemical reactions, effectively breaking down complex molecules into simpler, more manageable forms.

This advanced cleaning method ensures that no contaminants or microorganisms remain on the probe, further minimizing the risk of potential infections.

‍

Step 6: Hygiene Maintenance

While the ultrasonic bath is in progress, we ensure a clean treatment environment. Any soiled trays are promptly disposed of in a clinical waste bin. We sanitize the clinical trolley, treatment bed, and any contaminated surfaces in the treatment room using hospital grade disinfectant wipes. This further safeguards against any potential sources of contamination.

‍

Step 7: Drying and Sterilization

After completion of the cavitation bath cycle, we carefully remove the probe and meticulously dry it using absorbent paper towels. To maintain sterility, we enclose the dry probe within a sterilization pouch, securely sealing it ready for the final step in the Dioxy4 probe disinfection process.

‍

Step 8: Autoclave Sterilization

In this pivotal step, we ensure the highest level of sterilization by employing an autoclave and placing the sealed pouch inside. Autoclave sterilization utilizes high-pressure steam to create a hostile environment for microorganisms, effectively eliminating them from the probe's surface. The autoclave chamber creates conditions of elevated temperature and pressure that surpass the tolerance limits of most pathogens, rendering them inactive and unable to cause infection.

During the sterilization cycle, steam penetrates the sealed sterile pouch containing the probe. The combination of heat, moisture, and pressure works synergistically to disrupt the structural integrity of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The high temperature denatures essential proteins and enzymes, leading to the destruction of their cellular components and rendering them non-viable.

The autoclave sterilization process is meticulously controlled and monitored to ensure optimal efficacy.

‍

Step 9: Safe Storage for Future Use

After the sterilization cycle is complete, we allow the autoclave to cool down before retrieving the sealed sterile pouch with the probe. This cooling period ensures the probe's safety and minimizes the risk of any potential heat-related damage. Autoclave sterilization is a highly effective method for achieving complete sterilization, providing an additional layer of assurance for your safety. It offers the highest level of confidence that the probe is entirely free from any viable microorganisms, ensuring the utmost cleanliness and hygiene during your future treatments.

We remain dedicated to upholding the principles of science and maintaining a sterile environment for your laser vaginal tightening treatments.
