Trevor Blanchard · Answer 1

Leave space between and around the items

Explanation:

An autoclave is a pressure chamber that is used to sterilize equipment and supplies in a high heated steam and high pressure. Loading of an autoclave is important in order to increase its efficiency and also ensures proper sterilization. In autoclaving, the items for a particular procedure are normally wrapped together. The items should be properly arranged leaving space in between the items for proper functioning of the autoclave.
