Tristel Trio Wipes A Three Step System to Support
the Cleaning and Disinfection of Medical Devices
Jakarta, August 7, 2026 – In healthcare facilities, infection prevention efforts depend not only on the competence of medical personnel but also on the quality of the reprocessing procedures for the equipment used in each procedure. Medical equipment that is reused has the potential to become a vehicle for the transmission of microorganisms if it does not undergo cleaning and disinfection procedures that meet established standards. Therefore, selecting an effective decontamination method is a critical aspect of ensuring patient safety while maintaining the quality of healthcare services.
This process is commonly supported by Tristel Trio Wipes, a chlorine dioxide-based decontamination system designed to provide a practical, high-level cleaning and disinfection process. This product supports the reprocessing of various medical devices used in diagnostic procedures and clinical examinations, such as transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), flexible nasoendoscopy, flexible laryngoscopy, and various other procedures that use semi-critical medical devices. Unlike the use of a single type of disinfectant wipe, Tristel has developed a step-by-step approach using three types of wipes with distinct functions. Each step complements the others, allowing for a more systematic decontamination process—from cleaning the device’s surface to ensuring the device is ready for reuse.
The advantage of the 3-step Trio Wipes system lies in the distinct functions of each stage. The first step uses the Tristel Pre-Clean Wipe, which removes both organic and inorganic contaminants such as blood, mucus, proteins, and tissue debris adhering to the instrument’s surface. This stage is a critical foundation because residual contaminants can hinder the effectiveness of the disinfection process if not removed first. Once the instrument surface is free of contaminants, the active ingredients can work optimally in the next step.
After the cleaning process is complete, decontamination continues using Tristel Sporicidal Wipe. At this stage, the active ingredient—chlorine dioxide—generated after the activation process acts as a high-level disinfectant (HLD) with a broad antimicrobial spectrum. This compound is effective against various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycobacteria, and even bacterial spores, such as HPV, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, TB, and others. These characteristics make Tristel the ideal choice for various medical devices that are heat-sensitive and cannot be sterilized using an autoclave, yet still require a high level of disinfection.
The final step involves using Tristel Rinse Wipe, which removes any remaining active ingredients or residues left behind after the disinfection process is complete. Although often considered a simple final step, rinsing plays a crucial role in ensuring that the instrument’s surface is clean before it is reused. In addition to ensuring comfort during subsequent use, this process also helps maintain the quality of the instrument’s materials so that it can be reused in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Tristel’s three-step approach demonstrates that the decontamination process does not merely focus on killing microorganisms, but also takes into account every stage that affects the overall success of disinfection. From removing contaminants, performing high-level disinfection, to cleaning up residues, each step is designed as part of a single, integrated process. With a practical and standardized workflow, healthcare workers can carry out the reprocessing process more consistently without compromising service efficiency.
As awareness of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) continues to grow, the use of appropriate decontamination systems has become a critical investment for every healthcare facility. Tristel Trio Wipes are available through Advance Medicare Corpora, the official distributor of Tristel in Indonesia. In addition to providing the Tristel product line, Advance Medicare Corpora also offers support in the form of education, product training, and after-sales service to help healthcare facilities optimize the cleaning and disinfection of medical devices in accordance with clinical practice standards. With a combination of product innovation and comprehensive support, Tristel Trio Wipes provide a solution that supports effective, efficient, and safe decontamination processes in daily healthcare practice.
