A method for the sterilization of vessels or objects is proposed, with which a plasma sterilization, for example of ampoules in medicine, is carried out, and in which spatially and / or temporally selective excitation of the plasma in different areas, which on walls of the vessel ( 2) or of the object. A gas suitable for excitation of a plasma can be fed into the interior of the vessel (2) via a feed line (7) shielded by a chamber (3) or via a leakage groove (5), the gas pressure gradient being set and maintained in this way is that a plasma is stimulated here or subsequently on the outer wall and a predetermined time is maintained. |
