Tristel Duo OPH
Tristel Duo OPH is an effective, fast and compliant high-level disinfectant for ophthalmic and optometry medical devices.
Within ophthalmology and optometry, clinicians are required to ensure the highest level of infection control is adhered to. However, eye care is often viewed as a low-risk area where a low-level disinfectant will be suitable, resulting in inadequate device disinfection.

Chemistry
Tristel Duo OPH utilises Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry, a well-documented and highly effective biocide.
Tristel Duo OPH has two separate compartments that contain 125ml of Tristel Base Solution (citric acid) and 125ml of Tristel Activator Solution (sodium chlorite). Upon pressing the pump, the two solutions mix and chlorine dioxide chemistry is generated.
Chlorine dioxide does not form hazardous by-products or halogenated compounds.
Due to the way chlorine dioxide breaks down and destroys microorganisms, resistance cannot develop over time. Find out more about the mode of action of chlorine dioxide here.
Efficacy
Tristel Duo OPH is a high-level disinfectant and is proven effective against a wide range of microorganisms in 30 seconds, including:
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Acanthamoeba castellanii (one of the causative organisms of Acanthamoeba keratitis)
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRE)
- Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE)
- Candida albicans
- Aspergillus brasiliensis
- Adenovirus (responsible for adenoviral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis)
- Herpes Simplex Virus type 1
What is SARS-CoV-2?
SARS-CoV-2 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome virus and the strain of coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coronaviruses are a group of airborne viruses that spread via respiratory droplets. These droplets can be directly transmitted to a new host or indirectly via contaminated surfaces.
Testing demonstrates that Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry is effective against SARS-CoV-2 in 30 seconds.
Regulatory
Tristel Duo OPH passes local regulatory requirements for Australia and New Zealand. Other approvals include Israel, India, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Product Options
Tristel Duo OPH is available in a pack of two for smaller clinics, or in a pack of six when larger quantities are required.
Each bottle of Tristel Duo OPH provides 310 aliquots of disinfectant foam which is equivalent to 155 high-level disinfection procedures.
To ensure the maximum amount of foam is applied to the medical device, pair Tristel Duo OPH with the low absorbing Duo Wipes.
Tristel Duo OPH can fit inside a pocket or bag.
