Abstract
A method of sterilization for hospital and field use in which an article to be sterilized is submerged in water and ozone, which is supplied from a separate source, is bubbled through said water and over said article so as to provide an ozone concentration in excess of water saturation alone. Such a process can be used to kill even the most difficult bacteria and spores in shorter times than ethylene oxide sterilizers and further can be used for instruments which cannot stand steam temperatures or pressure changes.
