Cleaning is a crucial first step to sterilizing surgical instruments, as there is no such thing as sterile dirt, and sonic cleaners are a popular way to get complicated instruments clean. Nearly all instrument manufacturers recommend sonic cleaning in their care guidelines, according to Healthmark.
