Experience of using ethylene oxide gas sterilization

At present, with the rapid development of science and technology in my country, medical devices, precision instruments (such as laparoscopes, choledochoscopes, etc.), and catheters made of medical polymer materials are widely used in clinical practice, and the occurrence of cross-infection in hospitals has also increased. Ethylene oxide gas sterilization is one of the commonly used aseptic techniques. It is a broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, strong penetrating disinfectant that causes little damage to disinfected items. In foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, ethylene oxide has been widely used to sterilize medical devices, various fabrics, plastic products, fur products, etc.
