Autoclaves
- safety and hygiene in the daily work of professionals
Nowadays,
hygiene and safety standards play a key role in any place where reusable
instruments are used. Whatever the industry - medical, beauty or dental -
sterilisation is a process that cannot be missed. Why? Because it is what
protects against the spread of infection and ensures the comfort of both staff
and customers. In this context, autoclaves become an indispensable tool in the
daily work of professionals.
Why is
sterilisation so important?
Instruments
that come into contact with blood, body fluids or skin can become a carrier of
dangerous pathogens - bacteria, viruses or fungi. Without a proper
decontamination process, there is a risk of transmitting infections such as
hepatitis B and C, HIV or fungal infections. Therefore, proper sterilisation of
instruments is no longer an option, but a necessity.
Autoclaves,
using high temperature and steam pressure, effectively eliminate all forms of
microorganisms - from bacteria to viruses to their spores. This makes them the
most effective solution for those who want to guarantee the safety of
themselves and their clients.
How does
an autoclave work?
An
autoclave is a sophisticated device that works on the principle of steam
sterilisation at high temperature and pressure. A key element of its operation
is the precise adjustment of temperature, duration and pressure to the type of
instruments to be sterilised. Enbio autoclaves allow
sterilisation in:
- Class S: Designed for unwrapped
instruments with a sterilisation time of 7 minutes IN 134 °C.
- Class B: Provides full sterilisation of
both packaged and unpackaged instruments. Sterilisation times are 15
minutes at 134 °C, 30 minutes at 121 134 °C (for more implementable
instruments) and the PRION programme (Enbio PRO).
Choosing
the right autoclave
The choice
of autoclave should be tailored to the specifics of the work. For example, the Enbio
S Beauty Edition autoclave is a compact and fast device ideal for the
beauty industry where time is of the essence.
For the
medical industry, more advanced models such as Enbio S or Enbio PRO,
which offer additional programmes and Enbio PRO also has a larger working
chamber, are recommended.
Sterilisation
and responsibility
Putting
sterilisation procedures in place is not only a matter of complying with
regulations, but above all of being responsible for the health of others.
Having an autoclave in the workplace shows professionalism and a commitment to
the highest standards of hygiene.
To
emphasise your commitment, it is also worth taking part in campaigns such as
#EnbioSafe, which promote awareness of the importance of sterilisation. It's
also a great way to show customers that their safety is a priority.
In
conclusion, an autoclave is an investment in safety, health and customer
confidence. It is worth choosing a device that is tailored to the specifics of
your work and that will allow for fast and effective sterilisation. Remember
that taking care of hygiene is not only a duty, but also the best way to build
your brand as a professional. Safety begins with sterile
instruments!
