What is Autoclaving for Custom Trays?

surgical-instruments
Autoclaving refers to the process of sterilizing equipment and supplies with the use of high pressure usually saturated at 250°F (121°C) for around fifteen minutes. Steam is the sterilization agent that is used in autoclaving to kill microorganisms such as spores and bacteria found on custom procedure trays. By now you already know that all contaminated equipment and all infectious material or apparatus such as custom procedure trays should be decontaminated before being stored, discarded or washed. Autoclaving is the preferable method to go about all of the above.

Autoclaving is also utilized in curing composites, and vulcanizing rubber since the heat and pressure from autoclaves allows attainment of the best possible physical properties. The process of autoclaving is widely used in the fields of:

  • Dentistry
  • Veterinary science
  • Medicine
  • Body Piercing and Tattooing
  • Microbiology

An autoclave sterilizer was invented by Charles Chamberland in 1879. Around that time of invention, doctors were in dire need of a more reliable sterilization technique than open flaming. Researchers also began to understand the benefits of sterile surgery. Advantages of an autoclave were soon evident and autoclaving became an essential part of every clinic and hospital.

An autoclave is utilized for sterilization of pharmaceutical items, laboratory instruments, and surgical equipment including custom procedure trays among other materials. Autoclaves can sterilize hollows, liquids, solids, and instruments of different sizes and shapes. Autoclaves vary in functionality, size, and shape. Typical autoclaves are similar to pressure cookers; both use the power of steam to destroy spores, germs, and bacteria that are resistant to powerful detergents and boiling water.
