Autoclaves are used to sterilize surgical instruments and medical equipment to prevent the spread of infection. An autoclave sterilizes items by heating the medical equipment with steam to a very high temperature thereby destroying microorganisms much like a pressure cooker cooks food. The temperature, pressure and processing time depend on the degree of sterilization required. The Ritter M9 and M11 UltraClaves are ideal for most doctor’s offices, clinics, dental offices and other facilities where surgical instruments come in contact with contaminants and must be sterilized.
