Aseptic Technique in Rodent Surgery : Other Materials
Key Points
- All other materials needed for the surgical procedure that will come into contact with the surgical site must be sterile and must be used within their stated expiry dates.
- It is often convenient to purchase items such as scalpel blades and sutures in sterile packs, which are opened when required.
- Delicate materials, for example catheters, that could not withstand autoclaving can be purchased pre-sterilised, or sterilised using other methods, such as ethylene oxide.
