  • Page 36: Preparation Before Sterilization

    PREPARATION BEFORE STERILIZATION The purpose of packaging and wrapping of items for sterilization is to provide an effective barrier against sources of potential contamination in order to maintain sterility and to permit aseptic removal of the contents of the pack. Packaging and wrapping materials should permit the removal of air from the pack, penetration of the sterilizing water vapor into the pack and removal of the sterilizing vapor.
  • Page 37 Wrapped instruments should be packed in material that promotes drying such as autoclave bag, autoclave paper, and muslin towels. It is highly recommended to utilize the Tuttnauer Pouch Rack. This rack allows the operator to place pouches on their side, thus increasing the capacity of the autoclave significantly and promoting better drying of the instruments.
  • Page 38 Packs Place packs upright on trays, side by side. Packs should not touch the chamber walls. Pack instrument sets in a manner that prevents damage to delicate items. Pack hollowware sets so that all openings face the same direction and so that the contents cannot move inside the pack. Load packs of folded operating room drapes with layers vertical, allowing air to be removed from the packs rapidly.
  • Page 39 Liquids Use only heat-proof glass, filled to 2/3 capacity. Ensure that the glass container is covered, but not sealed to prevent pressure build-up. Liquids Note: A table of suitability steam sterilization process for various goods and methods of packing is included with accompanying documents.
