What method is used for sterilizing the Sonicision?

The method used for sterilizing Sonicision is steam (autoclave) sterilization. This process involves subjecting instruments to high-pressure steam at elevated temperatures, effectively killing a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores. Steam sterilization is preferred in many medical applications due to its efficacy, speed, and the ability to penetrate materials thoroughly, ensuring comprehensive sterilization of surgical instruments.

Using soap and water is insufficient for achieving the sterile condition required for medical devices since it does not eliminate all pathogens. Hydrogen peroxide solutions can be used for disinfecting but are not the primary sterilization method for instruments like Sonicision, which require a more rigorous steam sterilization process. Alcohol wipes are primarily useful for surface disinfection but do not provide the level of sterilization necessary for surgical tools where complete elimination of microbials is crucial.
