Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To apply a low temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization for the heat intolerant orthopedic instruments.METHODS A comparison of the sterilizing effects of the orthopedic(instruments) was made among the low temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization,the ethylene oxide sterilization and the 2% glutaraldehyte(GTA).RESULTS Twelve hours were spent in the sterilization to the undurable(orthopedic) instruments when the ethylene oxide was used,and 10h were needed using the 2%GTA.but,55 min were enough using the low temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma.CONCLUSIONS The low temperature(hydrogen) peroxide gas plasma sterilization is applicable to rapidly sterilizing the heat undurable orthopedic(instruments) characteristically with the high effects,quick speed and convenient.
