title: Guidelines for evaluating wet packs.
abstract: These guidelines are not intended to be the final word in establishment of wet pack criteria. They can serve as a starting point in development of criteria and test methodology that are scientifically defensible and practical. The joint efforts of hospital personnel and industry are necessary to continue research of the interrelated factors, such as pack preparation techniques, sterilizer operating techniques, and drying characteristics of various wraps.
