An ultraviolet light cabinet contains a UV light that destroys microorganisms and is used as a sterilisation process. In order for the tools and equipment to be sterilised via radiation, they must be rotated frequently so that the UV light reaches all sides. The UV Lamp along with your sterilised tools and equipment should be stored in a closed cabinet.

All germs and dirt should be removed by washing all tools and equipment before depositing into the glass bead steriliser. This form of sterilisation process is convenient for small tools such as tweezers or …show more content…

Cleaning method - Disinfection
Use this method for instruments that cannot be immersed in water due to size and/or safety issues • Wear water proof rubber or plastic gloves when cleaning tools or instruments • Wipe the instrument with a disposable paper towel moistened with warm water and detergent and allow it to air dry intact.
