Abstract
Apparatus for the cold disinfection of dental and medical instruments includes an envelope of water impervious material and a cold disinfection solution. The envelope may be deformable with a gauze liner bonded within it, and with the solution, or its components, in crushable capsules. In alternate embodiments, the envelope may have a gauze liner bonded to it and saturated with the solution, and the envelope sealed, or the envelope may contain the solution or its components in one or more capsules and with no gauze liner. A further embodiment provides a support for an instrument encased in a gauze sleeve and a reservoir having valved discharge nozzles directed towards the gauze-encased instrument.
