chipped or worn parts. If any of these conditions appear, do not

Before sterilizing, lubricate the device with instrument milk or a
steam permeable/ water soluble lubricant, following the

Sterilization wrap material must be cleared for the applicable
sterilization modality by your country’s regulatory body. Use in
accordance with packaging manufacturer’s sterilization instructions
