Abstract
Contaminated objects are disinfected in a device which has a cavity formed by a fluid impermeable wall, an opening that is closeable by a seal, and a dispensing conduit which is spaced from the seal. Objects are placed in the cavity, the opening is sealed, and a disinfectant soluiton is introduced into the dispensing conduit. The disinfectant solution flows from outlets in the conduit into the cavity so that the objects in the cavity are disinfected by the solution and its vapors.
