All stainless steel instruments can be damaged from improper use or cleaning. Damage may take the form of corrosion, stains, rust, or pitting. Instruments with joints- scissors, hemostats, and sponge holders are particularly vulnerable. 

We recommend the following to help preserve the life of your instruments-

• Clean with soap and water only- avoid abrasive powders and steel wool
• Rinse with plain water
• Dry thoroughly* before storage
• Avoid prolonged contact with the following-
  acids
  bases
  solutions containing mercury
  solutions containing sodium
  solutions containing potassium
  solutions containing barium
  strong saline solutions
  Lysol, phenol, or iodine
• DO NOT sterilize stainless and chrome or gold plated instruments together
• DO NOT steam sterilize gold plated instruments
• Hemostats with insulated handles will be damaged by any sterilization process

*Heating in a moderately hot oven will drive water out of joints.
