Plasma Autoclave

A plasma autoclave relies on hydrogen peroxide vapor to sterilize instruments and equipment that are sensitive to heat.

If you’re familiar with the function of an autoclave, you probably know that many styles rely on high-pressure steam and heat to sterilize equipment. But not all tools can be exposed to heavy heat and moisture. In some situations, this process can cause damage. A plasma autoclave is an alternative, relying on hydrogen peroxide vapor to sterilize instruments and equipment that are sensitive to heat. This type of autoclave operates at a lower temperature, making it a better option for delicate items that could sustain damage if exposed to high temperatures.

The process of sterilization in a plasma autoclave involves hydrogen peroxide, which gets vaporized. This converts the vapor into a plasma state, which contains reactive free radicals that are effective at killing microorganisms. As the vapor diffuses throughout the plasma autoclave, it exposes all tools and equipment inside to the sterilizing material. All surfaces are effectively sterilized, ensuring they are safe for use during the next procedure.
