PURPOSE: Provided are method to sterilize articles such as medical instruments having long narrow lumens, and more particularly to a method for enhancing the effectiveness of the sterilization of the interior of the lumen. CONSTITUTION: A dry booster which does not contain liquid and which has a volume at least 2 times the volume of the lumen is attached to the end of the lumen. The lumen and dry booster are placed in a sterilization chamber, and germicide is introduced into the chamber. A higher pressure is created outside the booster than inside the booster. The empty dry booster draws germicide into the lumen, sterilizing the interior of the lumen. The method can be enhanced by reducing the pressure in the chamber before introducing the germicide. 액체를 함유하지 않고, 내부 체적이 루멘 내부 체적의 2배 이상인 건식 부스터가 루멘의 말단에 부착된 루멘의 내부를 멸균하는 방법. 루멘과 건식 부스터는 멸균 챔버에 놓이고, 멸균제가 챔버에 도입된다. 부스터 내부보다 외부에 더 높은 압력이 형성된다. 빈 건식 부스터는 루멘으로 멸균제를 이끌어 루멘 내부를 멸균시킨다. 방법은 멸균제를 도입하기 전에 챔버의 압력을 감소시킴으로써 향상된다.
