Swann Animal Clinic Speak About the T-Top Autoclave for Veterinary Sterilization

Dr. Heritage Enevoldsen
Urgent Emergency & Critical Care Veterinarian

With 14 doctors across 4 locations, Dr. Enevoldsen’s practice is a busy one, and sterile instruments are a must. In her view, sterilization technology has come a long way and is now truly reliable. That takes a great deal of stress off her as a veterinarian, because she no longer has to keep it in the back of her mind.

The T-Top also helps her staff work more efficiently. She doesn’t need to worry about sterilization, because she knows the instruments will be safe for the pets. Between 20 and 30 technicians use the machine, and she finds it easy to learn and easy to use, which keeps them moving forward efficiently.

Hannah Klatwasser, Licensed Veterinary Technician

Hannah coordinates the clinic’s different surgical procedures and makes sure the anesthesia and sterilization equipment is up and running. She says the T-Top helps keep turnaround times quick, thanks to its fast sterilization cycle. The closed-door drying also helps: everything dries properly on the inside, and once the autoclave is opened, the instruments are ready to go.

Because the autoclave connects to the clinic’s Wi-Fi, her team can also track cycles remotely. As Hannah sees it, any technological benefit that helps improve outcomes is worth having.
