Ethylene oxide is a colorless, slightly odorless, flammable and explosive toxic gas that is slightly heavier than air. It was used to give steam to the room at the first time it was found, and later it turned out to have bacteriocidal properties. Sterilization of sensitive instruments sensitive to heat and humidity with ethylene oxide has come to the fore, and it has been used for sterilization since 1960.
Ethylene oxide works as a sterilant, which interacts with the cell wall of microorganisms, causing irreversible alkalinization. It is compatible with many medical materials and is a preferred method especially for plastic materials that are sensitive to moisture and heat.
The advantages of ethylene oxide sterilization;
Compatible with most medical instruments.
Suitable for sterilization of plastic and lumen instruments.
Easy to apply and follow.
Does less damage to instruments. It is corrosive.
Effective against all microorganisms including spores. (Except Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease)
Penetrates packaged materials and instrument lumens.
