Chemistry
Tristel Fuse for Stella is a chlorine dioxide burstable sachet for the high-level disinfection of medical devices.
Tristel Fuse for Stella sachets are designed with two separate compartments, one containing 50ml of Tristel Base Solution (citric acid) and one containing 50ml of Tristel Activator Solution (sodium chlorite). Upon bursting the sachet, chlorine dioxide is generated.
The Health and Safety profile of chlorine dioxide is superior to that of sodium hypochlorite, peracetic acid and glutaraldehyde, providing clinicians with a safer way to reprocess devices.
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.
