Steam sterilization or autoclaving is not a new process but it is proven, dependable, safe and environmentally friendly. It is also important to note that it is not appropriate for all materials due to the process being high temperature and high pressure. However, for those products that it is right for, there is not a more efficient process. When selecting a sterilizer it is important to make sure you are getting a unit that fully meets your needs – after all, a quality autoclave will be in use for 20 years or perhaps longer. At ETC all of our units are made to order, which means you get the right autoclave based on your specific facility, available space, and type of operations being conducted.
