Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning is the state of the art in instrument cleaning. Instead of the caustic chemicals used in traditional chem cleans, your instrument is cleaned by high-frequency sound waves — removing calcium deposits and corrosion while preserving its quality.

How It Works
The science behind a deeper clean, in three steps.
1
Cavitation
High-frequency, high-intensity sound waves introduced into the cleaning solution form countless microscopic bubbles, each holding a partial vacuum.
2
Implosion
As pressure builds, the fluid rushes in and collapses each bubble, creating a jet of liquid with temperatures as high as 5,000°C and pressures up to 20,000 psi in a tiny, concentrated area.
3
Deep scrubbing
Those countless imploding bubbles scrub every surface the solution reaches — including hidden passages a brush can’t — lifting away calcium, scale and corrosion.
