Methods of sterilization
Sterilization with steam under pressure is performed in a steam autoclave. For a light load of instruments, the time required at 250° F (121° C) is a minimum of 15 minutes at 15 psi pressure. Time for wrapped instruments can be reduced to 3 minutes if the temperature is raised to approximately 273° F (134° C) to give 20 psi of pressure.
