Autoclaves are steam sterilisation machines that play a key role in the process of medical sterilisation. They come in a range of Classes, each differing in how they work and the type of setting they are most suitable for.
The autoclave's ability to reach high temperatures ensures complete destruction of microbes that may be present on instruments and equipment, providing a reliable method for achieving sterility. This is especially crucial in settings such as dental practices, veterinary clinics, and chiropody offices, where aseptic conditions are essential to minimise the risk of infections associated with procedures and treatments.
It is crucial for anyone using an autoclave to understand these risks, and ensure they operate the autoclave correctly whilst wearing the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to maintain both their own safety, and the safety of others in the vicinity.
