The OR Today webinar “Preparation and Packaging for Steam Sterilization” was sponsored by STERIS.
Clinical Education Specialist Chasity Seymour, BSHM, CST, CHL, CRCST, CIS, AGTS, discussed preparation and packaging for steam sterilization. She also reviewed surgical instrument preparation (including inspection, reassembly, and lubrication), proper accessories for each packaging type, and loading techniques for steam penetration and drying.
Seymour provided additional insights during a question-and-answer session with attendees. One person asked about the benefits of using tray liners versus towels. Another question was how to decide which tray liner product is the right one to use. The answers to these questions and more are available by watching the on-demand recording of the webinar at ORTodayWebinars.live.
The webinar set a registration record with 335 individuals signing up for the session with 153 in attendance.
