Abstract
A method for cleaning a prosthesis in a microwave oven. The inventive method preferably uses a container having an opening at the top thereof, a cover which is removably positionable over the opening, and a holding assembly removably positionable in the container, for holding the prosthesis. Since most prostheses contain at least somes metallic parts, the container and cover are each composed of a microwave insulating material. The inventive method provides for the quick and efficient cleaning of prostheses and facilitates the removal of dangerous fungal and bacterial deposits therefrom.
