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.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
