Handle sleeves, sterilizing
Clean and disinfect handle sleeves in the usual way before
sterilization.
The handle sleeves are placed in a suitable sterilization packaging
(one-time sterilization packaging, e.g. film/paper sterilization bags;
single or double packaging) and sterilized.
The handle sleeves can be steam sterilized. The recommended
parameters are:
 121°C/1.3 bar; 25 to 30 minutes (standard)
 134°C/ ca. 3 bar; 3 minutes (standard)
 134 °C/2-3 bar; 18 minutes (special cases)
When loading the autoclave, make sure the open end of the
sleeve is pointing down. Allow sufficient space around each
handle sleeve and do not allow them to come in contact with
any other items being sterilized.

damages!
