RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To study the influence of various packing methods and controlling method toward the hidden wet pack after steam sterilization to ensure the sterilization quality and hygiene safety.METHODS The medical equipment was packed with three types of methods,then unloaded from the steam autoclave after being cooled at different time to observe their heating speed respectively.To choose two types of cotton fabric packaging methods,prolong the heating time,and cool in the steam autoclave for 30 minutes,then observe the heating speed of the inside pack and the dry qualification status after 12 hours respectively.RESULTS The heating speed was the fastest with the medical crinkly paper method;the heating speed of the inside pack didn't have any improvement after prolonging the heating time;the dry qualification rate had distinct difference between the two types of cotton fabric methods after 12 hours(P
