Premixslip® is the only pre-mixed instrument lubricant and rush inhibitor clinically tested to be thoroughly steam penetrable and steam sterilisable.
A non-oily, non-sticky, non-toxic, silicone-free lubricant for surgical instruments. Forming a protective barrier on instruments, Premixslip® prevents rusting, staining, spotting and tightness of surgical instruments, helping you to reduce costly repair and replacement of surgical instruments. Premixslip® should be used on a regular basis on all surgical instruments with box joints to prevent tightening and sticking.

For Spray Applications:

Water Soluble vs Oil Based
The addition of oil based compounds to the cleaning process is wrong in principle. They deliberately cause contamination over the entire cleaned surface. If they are to be used, the water-soluble type should be used. Mineral oils have poor biocompatibility and may inhibit the penetration of steam or sterilant gases on terminally sterilised product.
Lubrication should only be applied to those areas where it is required during the inspection / packing process after thorough cleaning of the instrument.
