<p>A cleansing/sterilizing apparatus which is a transportable apparatus (181) and method for inside-outside washing and sterilization of various complex reusable medical/dental instruments, including but not limited to Laparoscopic instruments and dental Handpieces. Agitation within the apparatus is by means of a peristaltic pump (185). The pumping function is accomplished by means of a pre-sterilized, compressible, disposable diaphragm that the operator places within the capsule (194) somewhere between the open ends of the laparoscopic instruments on the rack. The action of the pump (185) and the diaphragm forces oscillating surges of cleansing/sterilizing agent through the insides and over the outside of the laparoscopic instruments contained in the wash chamber. The apparatus avoids the use of heat, pressure, severe agitation, or corrosive chemicals which might damage delicate equipment. The apparatus preserves each processed instrument hermetically sealed in a sterile dry environment within a detachable/portable capsule (194) until its next use.</p> |
