Surgical Instrument Reprocessing Provider Potomac Labs Launches New Website

    ROCKVILLE, MD, February 16, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Potomac Labs LLC, a premier surgical instrument processing provider, is announcing the launch of their new website, www.PotomacLabs.com. Founded on a vision of improving the standards for cleaning medical instruments, Potomac Labs seeks to provide healthcare facilities with the highest quality cleaning solutions to improve patient safety and prevent the spread of infection.

Potomac Labs takes a unique approach to the central sterilization process, focusing specifically on the critical role of instrument cleaning prior to sterilization. They incorporate a two-pronged approach: 1. providing cutting-edge cleaning chemistries, and 2. offering customer-driven services, such as technical consulting and educational in-services, to ensure optimization of the instrument cleaning processes at surgery centers and hospitals. Potomac Labs stands behind the quality of their products, having selected Borer Chemie AG of Switzerland's deconex line of medical enzymatic detergents and cleaning chemistries. Manufactured in Switzerland, the deconex line of enzymatic cleaners, lubricants, and acid neutralizers are recognized worldwide for quality, versatility, and powerful cleaning. Furthermore, Potomac Labs is the sole distributor of Borer medical products in the United States.

Potomac Labs was founded by surgeons Sandeep Sherlekar and Atif Malik who, in their experience, realized that a standard of clean for surgical instruments does not exist. Unsatisfied by this, Drs. Sherlekar and Malik formed Potomac Labs as a means of setting instrument reprocessing and cleaning standards for hospitals and surgery centers.

"We see cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and use as an integrated cycle," explains Dr. Sherlekar. "Improper and mediocre cleaning causes the system to break down at the very beginning and ultimately endangers the health and safety of patients."

Dr. Malik adds, "Reducing the spread of hospital-associated infections, increasing the success rate of surgeries and raising the standard of patient care begins with clean instruments."

Director of Sterile Processing Charles Cuillo neatly summarizes, "You can't disinfect an instrument that isn't clean."

Chief Operating Officer, Vic Wadhwa notes, "By taking a specialized approach to surgical instrument reprocessing, Potomac Labs is uniquely positioned to revolutionize the status quo by providing both excellent products and technical expertise to meet our customers' demanding needs."

"Our systematic approach to instrument reprocessing focuses on the fundamental role of cleaning. We can't stress that enough. Our mission at Potomac Labs is helping to define the best means to clean medical instruments. From there, we increase the standards of care for patients everywhere," cites Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Yang.
