- Microbial-control treatment (*1)
WIPE WITH MICRO
Micro fibers and micro pockets wipe away dirt
and prevent it from re-depositing (*2).
Toraysee™ for CE (Medical Equipment and Instruments Maintenance Cloth)
Toray's proprietary "micro-pocket effect" wipes up dirt and prevents it from re-depositing on the surface.
Toraysee™’s ultra-fine fibers (approx. 2 µm) adhere to the surface being wiped, scoop up the dirt and trap it in the "micro-pockets" (minute gaps between the fibers).
This gives Toraysee™ excellent wiping performance (trapping function).
- ※1 Microbial-control treated cloths will not disinfect surfaces being wiped.
- ※2 According to Toray data.
Product Concept
- In the cleaning of medical equipment and instruments, priority is given to the "washing" process (removal of organic materials and dirt).
- Toraysee™ is a cloth that specializes the removal of organic materials and other dirt and washing without the use of chemicals.
- It can be used wet or dry according to requirements, and can also be impregnated with disinfectant.
*Toraysee™ can be impregnated with disinfectant as required. If using Toraysee™ for the purpose of disinfection, be sure to use an appropriate disinfectant for the object being disinfected.
Wet use has a 10 times greater cleaning effect than dry use!

Applications
Suitable for daily maintenance in a range of applications, such as hospital equipment, monitors, medicine dispensing machines, etc.
Comparison between Toraysee™ for CE and conventional cleaning cloth (ordinary fibers)
Microbial-control treatment provides hygiene and peace of mind
What is microbial-control treatment?
Microbial-control treatment is a treatment that aims to control microbial growth on the cloth’s fibers.
Microbes targeted by microbial-control treatment
◎Evaluation criteria: Antibacterial activity value ＞ Control cloth multiplication value
＊Comparison between antibacterial/antifouling value and control cloth multiplication value
Mechanism of microbial-control treatment
Compared to ordinary treatment, in which the microbial-control agent adheres to the outside of the fibers, with Toray’s microbial-control treatment (Makspec®), the microbial-control agent infiltrates the fibers, thus sustaining the microbial-control effect.
