title: [Presterilization treatment of medical instruments for the purpose of lowering the sterilizing dose of gamma irradiation].
abstract: Preliminary treatment of medical instruments with a 1% sulphochlorantine solution for a period of 3 hours helps greatly reduce their initial contamination, permits it to lower the sterilizing irradiation dose down to 1.5 Mrad and to manufacture radiationally-sterilized medical instruments at any medical instruments plant. The instruments subjected to presterilization treatment in conjunction with radio-resistent irradiation are non-toxic, apyrogenic and free from any functional changes.
