Sterilizers And Autoclaves
STERILIZERS AND AUTOCLAVES
Often low on space, tabletop autoclaves are a great way to sterilize a lot of instruments without taking up much room. To keep patients healthy and safe, sterilize instruments and lab equipment using an autoclave’s high temperature steam.
Some practices also use dry heat sterilizers to eliminate any moisture inside its chamber. The sterilization process is usually quick, typically ranging from six to thirty minutes. Autoclaves and sterilizers are frequently used for infection control, so it’s essential to pick from the top sterilizer brands in the industry.
