A medical sterilizer is a device that uses heat, chemicals, or radiation to kill or eliminate all forms of microorganisms and pathogens from medical equipment and instruments. It is an essential tool in any healthcare setting, as it helps prevent the spread of infections and diseases. The sterilization process also ensures that medical instruments are safe to use on patients. Medical sterilizers come in different types, including autoclaves, chemical sterilizers, and radiation sterilizers. Autoclaves use steam and pressure to sterilize instruments, while chemical sterilizers use chemicals such as ethylene oxide. Radiation sterilizers use ionizing radiation to kill microorganisms. Medical sterilizers require proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure that they remain effective.
