French term or phrase: Stérilisation à nue
The term appears as follows: un cycle de stérilisation de gel à base d’acide hyaluronique en seringues selon le process de Stérilisation à nue

I haven't been able to find out any information about Stérilisation à nue. Could it be "open sterilisation"?

English translation:unpackaged sterilization
Explanation:
Before it can be reliably translated, we need evidence of what stérilisation à nue is. Since we are dealing with botoxers et autres injectors of hyaluronic acid (about whom there was a horrifying documentary on French TV recently, with much said about lamentable hygiene) it might indeed be sterilization of unpackaged instruments, so unpackaged sterilization.

For which I find some references (mostly Canadian), along with 'bare sterilization'.

"Sterilization and Unpackaged Items
An unpackaged cycle (sometimes called flash sterilization) is a method for sterilizing patient care items for immediate use. Unpackaged sterilization should only be used under certain conditions; • Thorough cleaning and drying of instruments preceded unpackaged cycle; • Mechanical parameters are checked and an internal chemical indicator is used for each cycle; • Care is taken to avoid thermal injury to staff or patients; • Items are transported aseptically to the point of use to maintain sterility. When sterile items are left open to the air, they can quickly become contaminated. Therefore, critical instruments that are sterilized unpackaged should be used immediately and not be stored."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Was going to use your suggestion but then saw unpackaged sterilisation so decided to use that thinking it might be clearer. But I also found both options being used so thank you for your help

neutral  philgoddard: Your references don't work, so we can't see whether they support your answer. But the first one apparently refers to a chamber that's opened, then closed for the sterilisation.
