A process for sterilising surgical instruments at ambient temperature comprises the steps of firstly decontaminating the surgical instrument in a closed environment by washing it with a detergent liquid having bactericidal properties to remove any blood, body fluid and/or body tissue adhering to the instrument, and secondly washing the instrument in a strongly bactericidal liquid to sterilise the instrument. Automated apparatus for carrying out the process is also described, and also a prepacked container of concentrated liquids for use in the process and apparatus. |
