Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a 1-step, ready-to-use improved hydrogen peroxide (IHP) cleaner and disinfectant for between-case use in the operating room. We found high cleaning efficacy (84%-96%) and a high compliance rate with the IHP (84%). With good surface compatibility, low toxicity, rapid dwell time, ease of use, and excellent cleaning efficacy, the IHP may be considered an option for between-case cleaning and disinfection in the operating room.Entities:
