Abstract

Materials commonly employed in the preparation of otologic homografts such as ethanol and formaldehyde are effective in vitro in inactivating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, to our knowledge, the complete permeation of homograft materials with preservative has not been demonstrated. Ethanol and formaldehyde have not been shown to be effective in inactivating the Creutzfeldt-Jakob agent. The literature on sterilization procedures for these agents is reviewed. Standard procedures for preparation of otologic homografts are examined. It is recommended that donor HIV serologic status be determined when otologic homografts must be used. Further research is required to determine the efficacy of otologic homograft sterilization techniques against HIV and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
