Sterilization is achieved by scrubbing thoroughly with soap and cold water followed by a 20-minute boil in additive-free water (distilled preferred), or autoclaving with distilled water only. Dry heat sterilization should not exceed 120°C for one hour to prevent damage. After sterilization, dry with a clean cloth. For long-term storage, sterilize, then lubricate joints with high-grade oil or liquid paraffin, and store in a sealed environment. Re-sterilize before reuse.
