Ultrasonic cleaning is a core technology in orthopedic implant cleaning, utilizing high-frequency sound waves to generate cavitation effects in the cleaning solution, effectively removing contaminants from the implant surface.

Key Components:
Surfactants: Reduce surface tension to enhance wetting and penetration
Alkaline agents: Saponify oils and remove organic contaminants
Chelating agents: Bind metal ions to prevent redeposition
Corrosion inhibitors: Protect implant surface integrity
Common Formulations:
Neutral pH enzymatic cleaners (protease, lipase, amylase)
Mild alkaline cleaners (pH 9-11)
Chelant-based solutions (EDTA, citric acid)
Uses high-pressure water streams (50-200 bar) to physically remove contaminants, often combined with specific cleaning agents.
Advantages:
No chemical residue
Environmentally friendly
Suitable for complex geometries
