Disinfection of medical devices can be placed in a medical device sterilization cabinet for disinfection.

The medical equipment disinfection cabinet is sterilized, heat preservation and dehumidification for medical equipment, surgical equipment, towels, clothing, tableware, medical facilities and other items through ultraviolet, far infrared, high temperature (high temperature disinfection through heating tubes), ozone, etc. tool.

For some items, such as surgical instruments after high temperature and high pressure, they can be stored aseptically and can be sterilized while being stored. The storage time is long, which is convenient for on-site use of sterilized items.

Ultraviolet rays and ozone sterilization are carried out under normal temperature and humidity. Time period and simple operation are quicker methods for disinfecting special equipment (not high temperature and high pressure).


Different infectious disease pathogens have their own characteristics and have different tolerances to different disinfection methods. For example, the bacterial spores are more resistant to various disinfection measures, and must be treated with strong sterilizing agents, heat or radiation to achieve better results. Therefore, it is generally regarded as a representative of more difficult disinfection.

The same disinfection method often has different effects on items of different nature. For smooth-painted walls, it is not easy to spray the liquid medicine, so it is better to wash and wipe. For rougher walls, it is easy to cause the liquid medicine to stay, and spray disinfection can be used. Oxyane fumigation is effective for cloth and paper that are easy to absorb drugs, but for metal surfaces, it takes longer.

Stool and sputum disinfection should not be treated with coagulated protein medicine disinfection cabinets. Because protein coagulation can protect pathogens, high-pressure steam has a good sterilization effect, but it is not suitable for fur, plastic and man-made fiber products.

Celluloid products are fumigated with oxane, cotton fabrics are soaked in high-concentration oxyacids or chlorine-containing disinfectants such as bleach, and latex gloves are soaked in Lysu solution for many times, which can cause damage. Food and tableware should not be treated with toxic or foul-smelling disinfectant.
