
When arranging sterilization containers, care should be taken that drops of condensate do
not wet items being sterilized beneath, but can flow away to the base of the chamber. The
best arrangement is a stack of sterilization containers of the same size, so that condensate
can flow down the sides.


Textiles and instruments should not be sterilized together in one sterilization container.
However, where this is unavoidable, the following rules should be observed:

Instruments and sterilization containers should be placed at the bottom.

Textiles should always be placed at the top.

If sterilization bags and instruments are loaded together, then instruments should be
place at the bottom (Figure 7).

Bigger bags should be placed at the bottom; smaller bags should be placed at the top.

TEXTILES
When preparing textiles for treatment in the autoclave, care must be taken that the folds in the
textiles are arranged in parallel, and that the items are packed side by side. This vertical
configuration ensures that channels can form between the textile folds for the air to flow out
and steam to flow in.
