Sterilization of gynecological instruments is a very important process to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure patient safety. Nowadays, there are different methods for sterilizing instruments, but the most widely used and recommended is the gas autoclave.

The gas autoclave is a machine that sterilizes instruments by using steam at high temperatures. This method ensures that they are free of bacteria and germs, making it the most effective method for preventing the spread of disease.

In addition, gas autoclaving is a very efficient and fast method, as the instruments are usually ready in a few minutes. For this reason, it is the preferred sterilization method for most gynecologists.

Gas Autoclave Development

An autoclave is a pressure chamber designed to disinfect and/or sterilize medical instruments. In most of today’s autoclaves, steam is used at high temperatures and pressures to subject the instruments to an environment hostile to microorganisms. The elimination of microorganisms is a function of three factors: temperature, steam concentration and exposure time. The use of this equipment is essential to prevent the spread of disease and ensure patient safety.

They are particularly suitable for this process, as they are capable of reaching high temperatures in a relatively short time. Sterilization is generally carried out at a temperature of 121-134°C. The temperature rise is produced by the combustion of the gas, which allows the required levels to be reached in a very short time. Exposure to steam at high temperatures is the most effective way of eliminating microorganisms. This effect is produced by the pressure generated in the chamber during the heating process.

Sterilization of gynecological instruments in the gas autoclave is an effective, safe and easy process to perform. If the manufacturer’s instructions are followed and the appropriate material is used, this method allows the instruments to be sterilized safely and effectively.

Quality of use

Gas autoclaves can be used to sterilize a large number of gynecological instruments, including blades, scalpels, forceps, forceps, spatulas, spoons, needles, cannulas, probes, catheters, drains, tubes, blade handles, powder capsules, syringes and other medical devices. They are effective for sterilization of gynecological instruments, because the sterilizing gas infiltrates all areas and when in contact with the gas, the instrument is sterilized. The gas also kills microorganisms that may be present on the instruments.

The process is relatively quick and simple. It can be done on the same day that the instruments are to be used and should then be stored in a clean, dry place. Exposure to air, direct sunlight and moisture should be avoided. These should be stored in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container. Finally, the manufacturer’s instructions should be followed carefully and care should be taken not to touch them with dirty hands or non-sterile gloves.
