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.

Traceability

Keep track of each Tristel Duo OPH disinfection procedure with Tristel 3T.

Tristel 3T is the digital traceability system that makes tracking each decontamination procedure secure, fast, accurate and smart.

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.
