Sterilization by Ionizing Radiation
Most equipment available prepackaged from the manufacturer has
been sterilized by ionizing radiation.
Items such as sutures, sponges and disposable drapes are just a
few of the many types of presterilized products available.
Also included are anhydrous materials such as powders and
petroleum goods.
Sterilization by Low-Temperature Steam and Formaldehyde (LTSF)
This is a physicochemical method which uses a combination of dry
saturated steam and formaldehyde to kill vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores
and most viruses and the method is thus suitable for heat-sensitive materials
and items of equipment with integral plastic components susceptible to damage
by other processes.
Prior to removal of sterilized objects all formaldehyde must be removed to
provide a dry, sterile, formalin-free load.
