A high-temperature sterilizer for metal instruments: nippers, probes, pushers, scissors. Dry heat rather than steam, so tools go in dry and come out dry, with no drying stage and nothing to corrode a hinge.
Worth being clear about where it sits. Dry heat is a genuine sterilisation method for solid metal instruments, but it is not an autoclave and does not replace one where pouched, steam-sterilised instruments are required. For a podiatry room running an autoclave already, this is the fast turnaround unit for tools between clients.
Technical data

- Colour: black
- Use: metal instruments
Power supply
This device ships with an EU plug. A UK adapter is included in the box, so it works on a UK socket straight away.
Good to know
Load loosely. Instruments packed tight shield each other from the heat, and the cycle time assumes air can circulate. Let the chamber cool before unloading.
