A set of ratcheted clamps is being assembled for sterilization. Several are locked closed to save tray space, and a box-lock instrument is nested inside another. Why is this a problem?
Closed instruments may prevent sterilant contact with box locks and inner surfaces.
Ratcheted clamps must be sterilized only in peel packs, never trays.
Open clamps dull faster during sterilization than closed clamps.
Nested instruments are acceptable if the external indicator changes color.
