The invention concerns a method and a device for sterilising hollow bodies, such as containers, container preforms, tubes and various conduits. The invention is characterised in that it consists in guiding (15) a vaporisable sterilising agent over the walls of the hollow body (9), using guide means (7; 13) enabling the agent to be entirely deposited over the surfaces to be sterilised.
