How to Choose an Autoclave Sterilizer for a Dental Clinic

As a dentist, dental hygienist, or support staff at a dental clinic, you know that having a reliable, effective autoclave is essential to the smooth operation of the clinic. Also called a steam sterilizer, the autoclave is the machine that harnesses the power of high temperature and high-pressure steam in order to sterilize germs on dental equipment, such as forceps, intended for reuse, thus ensuring its safety for the next patient.

Why Is Your Water Treatment System So Important to Your Sterilization Process?

Sterilization will not happen in a steam autoclave without water. Steam sterilization uses saturated steam to the items in the autoclave. The steam comes into contact with the items placed inside the autoclave and must be free from impurities in order to avoid staining or corroding the items being autoclaved.
