Please give me all the materials that are sterilized in the autoclave.?

Question

please name all.

Answer 1

Nowadays, the autoclave is rarely used in hospitals, as most have gone to a disposable approach.

Aside from some of the pinchy devices (forceps, clamps, etc) little or nothing is sterilized in an autoclave.

Some hospitals no longer even have autoclaves, at least in the US. Sterilization is performed off site, and the devices that can be economically sterilized are simply shipped off like clothes for cleaning and return to the hospital..

Its weird, but its what's developed over the last two decades... I'd know, my mother, my aunts, and my grandmother were all nurses, and my mother and aunts lived through the transition...
