Efficient fail-safe sterilization is essential in the reprocessing of reusable dental instruments and RapidHeat™ High-Velocity Hot Air sterilizers are better equipped than any other sterilizer technology in meeting that challenge. As stated by FDA: “Adequate reprocessing of reusable medical devices is vital to protecting patient safety”
The challenge to ensure adequate sterilization of dental instruments is especially difficult when reprocessing handpieces and articulated instruments. Unlike the steam in autoclaves that must achieve direct contact with the internal handpiece channels and surfaces of multi component dental instruments to ensure sterilization, RapidHeat technology with its controlled time and temperature relies on the effective conduction of thermal heat. It doesn’t rely on the difficult task of finding pathways for steam penetration.
