SUMMARY: The degree of vacuum and time of application needed to dry steam sterilized dressings has been investigated. If the steam supply is dry, and the pressure in the drying stage is reduced to an absolute pressure of 50 mm Hg, dressings will be cool and dry without holding the vacuum, provided they are not damp before sterilization. |
