ProEZ Enzymatic Instrument Detergents

ProEZ enzymatic detergents are formulated to break down blood, tissue, and other bioburden on surgical instruments and scopes before sterilization — the critical first step that determines whether reprocessing actually works. If soil dries and hardens in lumens and hinges, no sterilizer can reach it. ProEZ products attack that soil enzymatically, loosening organic matter so it rinses away instead of baking on.

This collection centers on two workhorse formulations. The ProEZ 2 Dual Enzymatic Detergent comes as a concentrated liquid in a 1-gallon jug with a fresh scent, built around subtilisin (a protease) plus additional enzymatic action to handle a broad range of soils in manual soak and ultrasonic cleaning. Its dual-enzyme approach makes it a practical choice for high-volume instrument processing where instruments carry mixed bioburden. The ProEZ Foam Enzymatic Instrument Detergent ships ready-to-use in a 24 oz spray bottle — the foam clings to instruments during transport and point-of-use pre-cleaning, keeping soil moist so it doesn't dry between the OR and central sterile.

A common question is which one to reach for: use the foam spray for spot pre-treatment and to keep soiled instruments wet while they wait, and use the ProEZ 2 concentrate for the actual cleaning bath. Together they cover the full pre-sterilization workflow. Both rely on protease enzymes, so follow the labeled dilution and contact time for the concentrate, and always rinse thoroughly before sterilization.
