Sterilization
Instruments may be subject to corrosion if left in the presence of
germicide sterilizing solutions. It is for this reason that we recommend
dry heat sterilization. Heat sterilized instruments should be dried while
hot, so as to prevent corrosion.
Please refer to the following instruc-tions for Autoclave, and Dry Heat cycles

Autoclave
1) Pre-clean the instrument using an ultrasonic solution with
neutral pH and containing rust inhibitors. The use of distilled/
de-ionized water will provide further protection against rust
and discoloration.

2) Dry joints thoroughly with hair dryer or similar device, ensuring
joint is free frommoisture.

3) Place the instruments flat in autoclave with jaws open.

4) Operate sterilization cycle at 275°F (132° C) for 6 minutes. This
is the typical cycle parameter for steam autoclave. Refer to the
instructions of the brand and model number being used.
5) Lubricate joints after steriliza-tion cycle

Dry Heat
1) Pre-clean the instrument using an ultrasonic solution with

and discoloration.

2) Dry joints thoroughly with hair dryer or similar device, ensuring
joint is free frommoisture.
3) Place the instruments flat in autoclave with jaws open.
4) Operate sterilization cycle at 375°F (190° C) for 20 minutes.
This is the typical cycle param-eter for dry heat sterilization.
Refer to the instructions of the brand and model number being
