Abstract

1,274,046. Microwave-sterilising. R. C. BRUMFIELD; J. T. NAFF and A. T. W. ROBINSON. 29 July, 1969 [29 July, 1968], No. 38055/69. Heading ASG. [Also in Division B8] A package (see Division B8) comprising a medical dressing 7 enclosed in a wrapper 4, 5 having a metallic or part-metallic wall 5, is placed in an evacuated chamber 70 and subjected to microwave radiation which is concentrated by the wall 5 to cause glow discharge within the package, thus sterilising the dressing 7. Microwave radiation having a frequency range of 890-22,250 Mhz enters the cavity through a window 72 and is reflected by the wall 5 to form standing waves with the incoming radiation. At a distance of a quarter of a wave length from the wall 5 these waves give a maximum field to initiate discharge. In a modification, the wall 5 contains metal particles which exert a point-effect on the radiation.
