Tuttnauer Autoclave: Best Steam Sterilizers for the Perfect Disinfection

Autoclaves or steam sterilizers are designed to sterilize tools used in dentistry, body modification, biology and medicine in order to kill all viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores. They are also widely used in mycology, tattooing, body piercing, prosthetic fabrication and chiropody. Typical loads include surgical instruments, laboratory glassware, patient care utensils, medical waste, animal cage bedding, etc.

Steam sterilizers use pressured steam, which is heated to a temperature over 121°C. Thus, autoclaves can only sterilize instruments that can withstand high temperatures. Many autoclaves vary in function and dimensions depending on the application.
