Methods of Sterilization. How to sterilize a piece of medical equipment depends in large part on the materials from which the equipment is made. If the item is not heat sensitive, then steam sterilization is the standard approach. This may use an autoclave or similar device.
In these situations chemicals, either as gases or in liquid form, can be used as sterilants. While the use of gas and liquid chemical sterilants avoids the problem of heat damage, users must ensure that article to be sterilized is chemically compatible with the sterilant being used. In addition, the use of chemical sterilants poses new challenges for workplace safety, as the properties that make chemicals effective sterilants usually make them harmful to humans.
