Large steam sterilizers are used for bulk sterilization processing and are typically found in the hospital's central supply department. Most operating suites and labour and delivery areas are equipped with smaller units for their own routine needs; however, areas that perform a great deal of sterilization may require large sterilizers.
Large freestanding, steam, sterilizer (autoclave), with a usable capacity of 75 litre, electric, with a front-loading door.
Steam sterilization kills microbes effectively and is often viewed as the gold standard of healthcare sterilization methods. Steam sterilizers use pressurized steam to generate moist heat to eliminate viable microbes from non-heat-sensitive medical devices, including heat-tolerant products used for surgical and general patient care. Typical items to be sterilized include surgical instrument packs, surgical implants, irrigation fluids, devices intended for and used by patients in isolation, and obstetric and dental instruments.
