resterilizes
Sanitizes once more
Resterilizes means to sterilize something again, typically medical instruments, laboratory equipment, or other items that require being free of microorganisms.
The prefix re- indicates repetition of the sterilization process, which may be necessary after equipment has been used, contaminated, or when the previous sterilization has expired.
The clinic resterilizes all surgical tools between procedures.
