Subject: Sterilization of Cloth Gowns

I would like to find out the recommended practice for sterilization of cloth surgeon's gowns (fluid resistant). e.g. proper steam temperature and time frame for sterilization.

In the U.K the standard time for porous load sterilization is 134C for 3.5 minutes +3 degrees - 0 degrees. As long as the material will withstand this temperature and is correctly folded (some fabrics require specific folding to ensure steam penetration) the product will be sterilized. Life of the sterile product is event not time related and will depend on many issues
