METHOD FOR STERILIZATION OF ARTICLES HAVING MEDICINAL PURPOSES Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves preliminary treatment of articles in active medium followed by treatment in gas-discharge plasma of glow discharge, specific volume power of discharge being 0,01-0,8 W/cm³. The former process is carried out within 5-40 min, the latter process is carried out within 1-30 min. Above mentioned active medium contains acids having lower oxidizing degree and pH 1-3. Said acids are prepared by treatment of aqueous salt solution (e. g. common salt) having concentration 0.01-0.5 mass % . The process takes place in anode zone of diaphragm electrolyzer. EFFECT: increases reliability of the process, simplifies the process. 4 cl, 1 tbl
