Ethylene oxide sterilization of medical devices: a review.
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a well-known sterilizing agent. However, only recently has its use significantly emerged, based on its range of applications in the field of new medical device development and sterilization. This paper describes the progress in terms of EO sterilization and concludes that it remains a promising field to explore and develop. The EO action mechanism and toxicity are analyze...
متن کاملPreliminary study of low pressure low temperature RF plasma confined inside sterilization pouches for the sterilization of medical devices
In the framework of the PLAS’STER project, a prototype based on a RF plasma confined inside sterilization pouches for the treatment of medical devices has been developed. In this work, optical emission spectroscopy was used to study the plasma emission from VUV/UV to IR wavelengths range. The results showed the production of strong UV radiation, radicals and atomic species depending on the proc...
متن کاملAutoclave Sterilization of PEDOT:PSS Electrophysiology Devices.
Autoclaving, the most widely available sterilization method, is applied to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) electrophysiology devices. The process does not harm morphology or electrical properties, while it effectively kills E. coli intentionally cultured on the devices. This finding paves the way to widespread introduction of PEDOT:PSS electrophysio...
متن کاملEffects of sterilization methods on key properties of specialty optical fibers used in medical devices
Optical fibers with different types of polymer coatings were exposed to three sterilization conditions: multiple autoclaving, treatment with ethylene oxide and treatment with gamma rays. Effects of different sterilization techniques on key optical and mechanical properties of the fibers are reported. The primary attention is given to behavior of the coatings in harsh sterilization environments....
متن کاملEffect of Component Dismantling on Quality of Sterilization of Mechanical Torque Limiting Devices(Pilot Study)
Objectives Dental instruments may serve as a route of infection transmission. The necessity of dismantling of Friction-Style (FS) and SpringStyle (SS) mechanical torque limiting devices (MTLDs) prior to disinfection and sterilization is a matter of debate, aside fromthe fact that it is difcult and time-consuming. This study sought to assess the effect of dismantling of components on quality of ...
