AB - This study explored the influence of non-metallic medical instruments in the  pressure steam sterilization process. An experiment was designed by using  an electronic dynamic monitoring device to record the temperature, time and  pressure of non-metallic medical instruments of different materials in the  process of pressure steam sterilization. The results show that the medical  instruments with wood or silica gel materials, especially those with lumen  structure, are prone to temperature delay, resulting in insufficient  sterilization time and greater safety risks.
