2Sterilization is not to be confused with
disinfection or simple sanitization. Sterilizing
an item goes as far as removing all microbes,
including bacteria and viruses. Disinfection is
only an incomplete method of killing some
microorganisms on the surface of an item.
3Sometimes cleaning an item is sufficient for the
task at hand, but other times more stringent
methods must be employed. If you are making beer
for instance, it is important to sanitize your
equipment before introducing organic substances
like sugar and yeast.
4In this case, sterilization is not required,
because pathogens are not created during the
process of fermenting beer. Likewise, it is
sufficient to disinfect your kitchen sink between
uses, rather than meeting the conditions required
to make it into a sterile environment.
5There are many applications that require
sterilization though, including medical and
quasi-medical practices. Medical offices,
hospitals, clinics, research facilities,
pharmacies, dental offices and other
health-related services employ sterile practices
to keep their equipment and instruments free of
harmful contaminants.
6This is most commonly done by using a high
pressure steam autoclave to hold the items at a
temperature exceeding 120 degrees Celsius for
15-20 minutes. Higher temperatures and shorter
times are used in some cases, but the principle
is the same.
7Chemicals and dry heat are also used as
sterilizers, but these methods are not
appropriate for some applications. Sterilization
pouches are used to wrap individual items before
treating them with steam or chemicals. The
materials used to construct the pouches must be
suitable for the sterilization methods being used.
8Medical Packaging manufacturers use plastic,
paper and other materials that allow steam to
permeate the packaging to provide the proper
level of sterility. Most medical entities follow
rigid step by step protocols for sterilizing
instruments.
9Items must first be cleaned of any deposits and
organic material, and then they must be rinsed
thoroughly. Pouches are then used to wrap or
contain the instruments. Continuous rolls or
'reels' of may be acquired from certain
manufacturers as well.
10Even single-use items are packaged to ensure
sanitary integrity. Sterilization pouches are
also referred to as 'peelable pouches', because
they are constructed with clear plastic fronts
that can be easily peeled away from their
malleable paper backings.
11Autoclave procedures must be followed to ensure
that each item is properly sterilized. Pouches
cannot be stacked or overloaded into the
sterilizing devices, and sterilization pouch
manufacturer's recommendations must be followed
regarding the use of their products.
