A study of the use of autoclave bags in non-vacuum autoclaves.
Two types of autoclave bags have been tested in five commonly used dental, non-vacuum autoclaves. The bags did not prevent the sterilization of instruments provided that most of the air was removed and the bags of instruments were not stacked. The use of a sterilization indicator in the bag is mandatory.
