Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency sound waves to create tiny bubbles that implode and loosen debris from instruments. This reduces the amount of manual scrubbing necessary, which both reduces the risk of hand injury and helps ensure a more thorough cleaning. However, ultrasonic cleaners do not disinfect instruments, so they should still be sterilized after cleaning.
