Steam sterilization is suitable for almost all the materials and instruments, provided that they can bear without damage a

The following material can normally be sterilized with steam:
›
Stainless steel surgical/generic instruments
›
Carbon steel surgical/generic instruments
›
Rotating and/or vibrating instruments driven by compressed air (turbines) or mechanical transmission (contra
angles, tooth scalers)
›
Glass items
›
Mineral-based items
›
Heat-resistant plastic items
›
Heat-resistant rubber items
›
Heat-resistant textiles
›
Medication materials (gause, pads, etc.)
›
Other generic material suitable for autoclave treatment
Depending on the material (solid, hollow or porous), on any package containing it (paper/plastic pouch, paper for sterilization, container, muslin
napkins, etc.) and on its resistance to heat, it is essential to choose the suitable sterilization program, referring to the table in the next page.
The device must not be used for the sterilization of fluids, liquids or pharmaceutical products.
