What Steps Should Be Taken for Instrument Sterilization?
Instrument sterilization involves several critical steps: 1. Pre-Cleaning: Remove any visible debris from instruments immediately after use. 2. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Use ultrasonic cleaners to dislodge any remaining particles. 3. Autoclaving: Sterilize instruments in an autoclave set to the appropriate temperature and pressure settings. 4. Storage: Store sterilized instruments in a sterile environment until use.
