Letting the instrument packages dry inside the sterilizer before handling them is the best choice as it allows the packages to cool down slowly and prevents any contamination from the environment. Once the packages are dry, they can be safely handled and stored. It is not recommended to unwrap or ultrasonically clean the instruments immediately after sterilization as this can increase the risk of contamination. Similarly, cooling the instruments in cold water may cause them to become wet and potentially introduce moisture which can lead to corrosion or damage to the instruments.
