Figure 8 – Properly Loaded Textiles
When loading sterilization containers with textile items, care should be taken ensure that they
retain their vertical orientation. This would prevent the formation of flow channels for air and
steam.
Do not stack textiles on the top each other as this hinders the penetration of steam
into the packages of textiles.

INSTRUMENTS

Ensure that instruments of different materials are separated and placed on different trays.
Stainless steel and carbon steel should not be sterilized touch to each other.

Position the instruments sufficiently distant from one another that they remain separate.

Pay attention to the guidance of the manufacturer of the instrument.

Where appropriate, instruments should be disassembled before placing them in the
autoclave, as this will improve the drying results.

Lubricants in the instruments (as instrument oil) can be hydrophobic and these are
impenetrable for steam. In case of sterilization of these instruments, the sterilization may
fail. Prior confirmation should be obtained from the manufacturer of such agents that they
are in fact suitable for steam sterilization.

Place the instruments in open position and demounted so that steam can penetrate more
efficiently.

STERILIZATION BAGS
Sterilization packages can be sterilized either in sterilization containers or sterilization baskets.
To enable better drying,
