Cleaning
and Sterilization of Dental Instruments.
Before
sterilization all instruments have to be disinfected and
cleaned.
Before
sterilization please use one of the following three cleaning
alternatives.
Cleaning by
hand
Cleaning
by hand is efficient, if it is carried out properly.
To
prevent corrosion or injuries of the instruments, we
recommend to use a soft brush and neutral or non-aggressive
detergents.
Please
immediately dry up the instrument after this procedure by
using a soft and dry cotton cloth.
Ultrasonic
Cleaning
Ultrasonic Cleaning saves time. Secondly it is more
efficient than cleaning by hand and lowers the risk of
contamination.
Thermo disinfections
Thermo
disinfect ion is also more efficient than cleaning by hand
and lowers the risk of contamination. Mostly the machine is
large and is inefficient if chosen for small quantity of
instruments.
Before sterilization the instruments should be dry to
prevent stains. Instruments with joints or ratchets should
be cleaned and sterilized in open position only.
Sterilization:
The
operating instructions of the manufacturer of the
sterilization machines should be read carefully and followed
strictly. |
