Sterilization is critical to prevent infection and ensure accurate results. Biopsy instruments are typically sterilized using one of the following methods:
Autoclaving: Using high-pressure steam to sterilize instruments. This is a common method for metal biopsy tools. Ethylene Oxide Gas: Used for instruments that cannot withstand high temperatures. Chemical Sterilization: Using disinfectants like glutaraldehyde for instruments that are heat-sensitive.
