Autoclaves
An autoclave (sterilizer) is used for the preparation of medical instruments, such as nail clippers, rotating instruments, or skin instruments in hospitals, medical practices, and podiatry/foot care studios. The autoclave is a sealable pressure vessel that kills pathogens by the application of heat and pressure, protecting clients and staff from infections.
Advantages of Autoclaves
The advantage of a steam sterilizer is that non-heat-resistant materials such as plastic or rubber can also be sterilized without being damaged. This ensures rapid, gentle, and validated preparation. The sterilization of instruments using heat, pressure, and steam in a sterilizer includes disinfection, cleaning, rinsing, drying, and packaging of sterile instruments and accessories. The sterilization time with an autoclave is approximately one hour. The gentle and reliable sterilization of foot care instruments according to hygiene regulations is an integral part of the quality management in your studio or practice, benefiting both clients and staff.
