Remove adhesive residue from medical devices and equipment with the Indigo™ 22577 stainless steel curved scraper. Clean tape and label adhesive without damaging sensitive instrument surfaces.
Medical facilities use adhesive tapes and labels extensively for securing tubes, marking equipment, and temporary identification, but these leave sticky residues that accumulate dirt and compromise infection control. Chemical adhesive removers can damage medical device plastics, coatings, and electronics, while aggressive scraping risks scratching surfaces that must remain smooth for proper cleaning and sterilization. The Indigo™ 22577's broad curved scraper allows safe adhesive removal. The wide scraping edge removes tape residue and label adhesive without scratching most medical device housings and instrument surfaces and is autoclaveable. This tool helps maintain equipment appearance and cleanliness standards while avoiding the chemical exposure concerns associated with solvent-based adhesive removers.
Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.
Before cleaning medical equipment, ensure it's powered off and disconnected if electronic. Test the scraping technique on an inconspicuous area first, especially on equipment with special coatings. Hold the curved scraper at a low angle and use gentle pushing motions to roll up adhesive residue rather than gouging at it. The broad edge distributes pressure and reduces point-loading that causes scratches. For stubborn adhesive, apply medical-grade isopropyl alcohol or approved cleaning solution and allow brief dwell time before scraping. Work slowly on painted surfaces and around labels that must remain intact. After mechanical removal, clean the area with appropriate disinfectant per facility protocols. If using in sterile fields, ensure the tool has been properly sterilized according to your facility's instrument processing procedures. Inspect equipment surfaces after cleaning to ensure no damage occurred.

Kelli Cote Great quality products at a very reasonable price! Purchased some dental picks for my daughter's University paleontology club to help with their fossil preparation lab.
Sandra Mead I bought several stainless steel picks...strong,sharp and hold their shape; not like the ones you get on Amazon or at home depot...a good product at a good price...Thanks Indigo
