Cleaning Procedures for the Calibrated V-LOK Cuffs:

Remove the rubber inflation bag from the Delcron cuff. Both may be sterilized with commercially available disinfectant soaks. Some disinfectants may cause skin irritation. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residual disinfectants. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Caution is advised when using dark colored soaks which may stain the cuffs. Test a single cuff to ensure that no damage will occur. EtO sterilization may be used.

Hand washing will enhance the service life of the Calibrated V-LOK cuff. Remove the natural rubber inflation bag and wash the cuff in warm, soapy water; then rinse thoroughly. The inflation bag may also be autoclaved. Allow the cuff to air dry, then insert the inflation bag.

When using machine washing, be sure that the hooks do not collect lint or other fibers. The fasteners can melt at temperatures above 325° F, 162° C, when being ironed or pressed.
