There is a big difference between being sterile and being clean even though people use them interchangeably. Being clean means being free of dirt and not being free of microbes but being sterile means being free of both dirt and microbes.

So, medical equipment should not just be clean, they should be sterile. However, sterilization may be a little difficult during survival situation. Here, you will learn up to 6 simple ways by which you can disinfect and sterilize your medical equipment.

According to the medical article, the very first way is to boil your medical equipment continuously for at least 30 minutes. This is because some microbes can survive a few minutes of boiling. However, this may not fully eliminate all bacteria spores. Besides, it may lead to rusting issues.
