HANDLING

All surgical instruments must be handled with the greatest care when
being transported, cleaned, treated, sterilized and stored. This is
especially true for blades, fine points and other sensitive areas. Surgical
instruments corrode and their functions are impaired if they come
into contact with aggressive materials. The instruments must not be
exposed to acids or other aggressive cleaning agents.
