Packaging for Sterilization
The clean, dry instruments should be placed in the Steribox sterilization container. The container should
be bagged in a sterilization pouch that is validated for use in a 132ºC pre-vacuum steam sterilization
cycle. The sterilization pouch should be sealed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Sterilization
