Sharn Instrument Cleaning Products

Sharn manufactures precision tools built for the demanding reality of surgical instrument reprocessing, where a single missed lumen or retained bioburden can compromise sterilization. This collection focuses on the instrument cleaning products that Central Sterile Processing departments, surgical techs, and clinic staff rely on to meet decontamination standards before instruments ever reach the autoclave.

At the heart of the range is the Sharn SharnSelect Instrument Cleaning Brush (45-540SS), a 7 mm diameter brush measuring 16-1/2 inches in length with a stainless steel wire core. That length matters — it reaches through the full channel of cannulated instruments, suction tips, and hollow-lumen devices where organic material collects and hand cleaning simply cannot reach. The stainless steel twisted-wire construction holds its shape through repeated use and stands up to enzymatic detergents and manual scrubbing without shedding or collapsing.

Choosing the right cleaning brush comes down to matching bristle diameter to lumen size and matching length to the instrument channel. A brush that is too small leaves residue behind; one too large won't pass through at all. The 7 mm SharnSelect suits a common range of mid-size lumens, and its stainless wire is well matched to facilities that reprocess brushes rather than discarding them — though many protocols call for single-use to prevent cross-contamination, so check your department's policy.

Proper manual cleaning is the foundation of every effective sterilization cycle, and reliable brushes are a small but critical part of that workflow.
