Title: Effectiveness of glutaraldehyde as a chemosterilizer used in a wrapping technique on simulated metal instruments. Author: Christensen RP. Journal: J Dent Res; 1977 Jul; 56(7):822-6. PubMed ID: 409744. Abstract: Chemosterilization utilizing glutaraldehyde-moistened gauze as a wrap on simulated metal instruments was evaluated. Non-sporeforming test organisms were killed within five minutes. Two sporeforming test organisms were killed in six hours. The sporicidal effect obtained would indicate that glutaraldehyde used in a wrap technique could sterilize objects.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
