CI Scientific Distilled Water 5L

Steam sterilization uses saturated steam to heat glassware, solutions or surgical instruments to achieve sterilization. The steam comes into contact with the items placed inside the autoclave. In the case of packed surgical instruments, for example, the steam must permeate the pack wrappings and heat the instruments inside the packs. For this reason, steam must be free from impurities in order to avoid staining or corroding the items being autoclaved.
