How to Sterilize Disposable Drape (Ahlstrom®)

1. Choose Your Autoclave Type
   • Gravity Displacement: Set for 30 minutes at 250°F (121°C)
   • Pre-Vacuum (Dynamic-Air-Removal): Set for 4 minutes at 270°F (132°C), plus 20–30 minutes dry time.
2. Prep the Load
   • Do not overload. This will result in ineffective sterilization.
   • Separate packs to allow steam circulation.
   • Keep space between items and chamber walls to prevent uneven heat distribution.
3. Run Cycle
   • Follow your sterilizer’s manufacturer guidelines. Avoid excessive heat or time, which may damage drapes. The drapes are ready to use once cooled and dried.
