How should re-usable Dentsleeve catheters be cleaned and disinfected?
After washing and syringing, catheters should be placed in an autoclave pouch and autoclaved at 134 degrees C and 206 kpa pressure for 5 minutes. The unique feature of autoclavability, according to this validated protocol and storage in a pouch, ensures sustained freedom from infection hazards from one use to the next.
