Effect comparison of mechanical oiling and manual oiling in rust protection of coupling surgical instruments

Objective To discuss effect of mechanical oiling and manual oiling in rust protection of coupling surgical instruments.Methods A total of 68 surgical instruments were divided into observation group and control group,with 34 surgical instruments in each group.The control group was treated with mechanical oiling,and the observation group used manual oiling,cleaning qualified rate,the rust rate after 3 months,lubricant amount and the average cost per month were observed.Results The qualified rate of surgical instruments by visual inspection in the control group was 99.09％,and was 98.77％ by magnifier,and the observation group were 99.23％ and 98.89％,respectively,but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Rust rate after 3 months was 8.94％ in the control group,and was 1.40％ in the observation group,there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Lubricating oil amount and total cost of two groups in the control group were (28 800.00 ±618.96)mL,(12 180.00±256.78) RMB,and were (5 600.00 ±489.71) mL,(2 216.00 ± 189.93) RMB,respectively,in the observation group,and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with mechanical oiling,manual oiling has better lubrication effect and can significantly reduce cost and corrosion of equipment,improve the maintenance effect,and ensure the quality of disinfection equipment.
