Abstract
A method for sterilizing medical devices is disclosed. The method comprises the circulation of a sterilant gas through a contaminated device bacteriologically to sterilize exposed surfaces, permitting the sterilant gas to remain within the lumen of the device for an effective period of time, and thereafter removing the sterilant gas by purging with sterile air or other inert gas.
