German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Dentistry / disinfection
German term or phrase: fixiert
Selbstverständlich müssen wir Spezialisten auch Kompromisse eingehen können: ist einerseits ein weicheres Material wie Plastik für kratzloses Arbeiten erwünscht, darf andererseits nicht erwartet werden, dass sich das Material trotzdem so verhält wie Metall. Werden die Instrumente thermodesinfiziert, so sollten diese unbedingt „fixiert“ und geschützt werden, damit beim Waschprozess keine Schäden angerichtet werden.
is this just fixed in place (if so I’m not sure why this would just apply to thermal disinfection) or does it refer to some special process?
