<p>A method for sterilising conduits that convey fluid to medical instruments, especially dental handpieces (1) comprises the following steps: removing at least the end portions of supply branches or forks (2s, 2a, 2b and 2c) of the handpieces (1) from their respective rest positions and placing them in a container (5); introducing a sterilising liquid in each of the supply branches or forks (2s, 2a, 2b and 2c) for a predetermined time; and draining the sterilising liquid out of the branches or forks (2s, 2a, 2b and 2c). The final draining step is effected by flushing the inside of the branches or forks (2s, 2a, 2b and 2c) with a sterile fluid that can be supplied through a second branch (7) independent of the main water source (3). <IMAGE></p> |
