Introduction to Couplings in Sterilization and Disinfection:
Couplings are essential in sterilization and disinfection processes as they simplify the connection and disconnection of lines without the need for tools, minimizing downtime. They ensure a safe and clean process by keeping harmful fluids contained within a closed system, with automatic shutoff valves preventing operator exposure to harmful substances.
