How are instruments sterilized?
All our instruments are treated using a very strict protocol to assure absolute cleanliness and sterility for your safety. First, instruments are brush-scrubbed with soap and water. Next they are ultrasonically cleaned in a disinfecting solution. This assures immaculate instruments on a microscopic level. Finally, the instruments are sealed in a sterile pouch and processed through our autoclave sterilizer or chemiclave sterilizer assuring complete sterility. The sterilization efficacy is monitored with spore tests to verify sterility to OSHA and hospital surgical standards. Each sterile pouch also has a sterility sensor on it to demonstrate that the package has been sterilized. Rest assured that our protocol is rock solid. In all our history, not once has there been a mixup or an incident of infection transfer or even potential infection transfer. There are no “cracks in the system,” and no instrument could ever be confused with a non-sterile one.
