Instrument Sterilisation

Manual and Automatic Cleaning and Reprocessing of Medical Devices

Instrument sterilisation plays a key role in the hygienic reprocessing of instruments in dental practices. For the sterilisation of instruments in dentistry, appropriate cleaning agents and the corresponding accessories are required in addition to sterilisation units. A steriliser is used to eliminate pathogens such as bacteria, typically by heating under pressure and using steam. It is particularly important that instruments used on patients are reprocessed in a sterile condition to meet the required hygiene standards in a practice.

Manual Cleaning of Medical Devices in Dentistry

The prerequisite for safe instrument reprocessing is the thorough cleaning and disinfection of dental instruments, following standardised work instructions. For this purpose, we offer highly effective disinfectants and cleaning solutions that ensure optimal preparation and manual disinfection of instruments prior to sterilisation.

In addition to the products for manual cleaning and disinfection, the corresponding containers are required, such as the instrument disinfecting tray, to allow instruments to soak in the solution after a treatment. Our range also includes practical accessories like instrument brushes for optimal cleaning results.

For machine-based cleaning of medical devices, equipment such as the New Eurosonic 4D ultrasonic cleaning device can be used. These devices are ideal for small instruments and are especially convincing due to their ease of use and contribution to rapid reprocessing of medical devices.

Steam Steriliser for Automated Reprocessing

To meet the hygiene requirements for medical devices or surgical instruments during patient treatment, we offer various devices for automatic instrument reprocessing in dental practices.

Reprocessing using steam under pressure (steam sterilisation) is highly effective and thus the ideal method for instrument reprocessing. Steam sterilisers are classified into different classes. We offer a selection of Class S and Class B sterilisers. With these autoclaves, Praxisdienst provides the suitable solution for all areas of application.

If your dental practice requires a Class B autoclave for reprocessing, the Enbio Pro Autoclave is recommended. It has a volume of 5.3 litres. This steriliser meets all European standards (DIN EN ISO 13060) and was specifically designed for professional use in dental practices. In addition to standard 121 °C and 134 °C programs, the Enbio Pro offers a fast program and a decontamination program. Class B sterilisers are the most effective means of cleaning medical devices in dental practices or laboratories and ensure optimal hygiene.

Accessories for Reprocessing Medical Devices

Suitable accessories for cleaning, disinfection, sterilisation, and maintenance are essential for reprocessing medical instruments. This includes sterilisation packaging, such as the self-adhesive STERI-TOV sterilisation pouches, a matching vacuum sealing device like the «The Euromatic» continuous sealer, and maintenance products.

You will also find sterilisation indicators, such as the Steam Sensor 5, which meet the requirements of the Robert Koch Institute. Here too, we offer a comprehensive selection of accessories for individual use in your practice.

During the entire process of disinfection and sterilisation, it is important to ensure that appropriate protective equipment (gloves, gown, safety glasses) is worn. These are also available in our online shop under the category protective clothing.
