STERILIZATION WITH FLUOROCARBON LIQUIDS

A sterilizing device, e.g. for surgical and dental instruments, includes a heating chamber (14) having a reservoir (20) containing a substantially inert, vaporizable liquid having a boiling point sufficiently high to kill micro-organisms unsafe for humans. The sterilizing liquid is heated to boiling...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A sterilizing device, e.g. for surgical and dental instruments, includes a heating chamber (14) having a reservoir (20) containing a substantially inert, vaporizable liquid having a boiling point sufficiently high to kill micro-organisms unsafe for humans. The sterilizing liquid is heated to boiling by a heater (24) submerged therein. The articles (36) to be sterilized are placed in a perforated tray located in the chamber above the reservoir and are contacted by a blanket (39) of substantially saturated vapours of the sterilizing liquid e.g. a fluorocarbon. A temperature controller (48) associated with a sensor (46) turns the heater off and on in response to the vapour blanket rising to and falling below a predetermined level above the tray.
