Q

-makes use of air with a low moisture content that has
been heated by a flame or electric heating coil.

A

DRY HEAT METHOD

26
Q

-temperature of dry heat dry heat strelization ranges to?

A

160 degree celsius

27
Q

-Sterilization of inoculating loop or wire, the tip of forceps, searing spatulas, etc., is carried out by holding them in the flame of the Bunsen burner till they become red hot.

A

FLAMING

28
Q

-is an excellent method for safely destroying
infective materials by burning them to ashes.

A

INCINERATION

29
Q

-is electrically heated and is fitted with a
fan to ensure adequate and even distribution of hot air in the chamber

A

HOT AIR OVEN

30
Q

-is an excellent sterilizing agent with very high penetrating power.

A

IONIZING RADIATION

31
Q

-since there is no detectable increase of
temperature in this method, this method is commonly referred to as “cold
sterilization.”

A

IRRADIATION

A

PHENOL

35
Q

-are more germicidal and less poisonous than phenol but
corrosive to living tissues. They are used for cleaning floors (1% solution), for disinfection of surgical instruments, and for disinfection of contaminated objects. Lysol is a solution of cresols in soap

A

CRESOL

36
Q

-They are used as skin antiseptics and for
the cleaning of wound surfaces especially hexachlorophene because once applied it persists on the skin and reduces growth of skin bacteria for longer periods. However, it can cause brain damage and is now used in hospital nurseries only after a staphylococcal outbreak.
