Find the best dental autoclave
Introduction

We’ve found 84 dental autoclaves from 13 manufacturers for sale in the UK, so finding and comparing them is a big job. Happily, this article has all the info you need to choose one that suits your needs.

Autoclaves use steam under pressure to sterilise materials. In Europe they are divided into three classes, following standard EN 13060:

  • Class B: also referred to as vacuum, these can be used to sterilise porous materials, wrapped materials, and hollow instruments like handpieces.
  • Class S: also referred to as gravity or non-vacuum, slightly less thorough than class B but fine if you don’t need to sterilise hollow instruments.
  • Class N: also referred to as gravity or non-vacuum, this is the least rigorous of the three classes, suitable for solid items only, and consequently is much cheaper than the other two.

Washer disinfectors are also available, which function similarly to a domestic dishwasher. They offer a less thorough kind of sterilisation than autoclaves so we do not include them in this guide.

Most manufacturers report the duration of cleaning cycles, which typically range between 20-60 minutes. However, this duration depends on the type of items being sterilised, and whether drying time is included, so figures are not useful when comparing models from different manufacturers.

Other key features to consider when choosing an autoclave:
o Volume
Internal volume is one of the main determinants of an autoclave’s price. In this article we consider benchtop autoclaves, with volumes in the 2-50 litre range. Larger autoclaves, such as those suitable for hospitals, are not considered here.
o Control style
Controls can be touchscreens or physical buttons. Touchscreens, similar to a tablet, are easier to clean and can be used while wearing surgical gloves. Physical buttons are more tactile and normally cheaper.
o WIFI
Autoclaves keep a log of each cycle for auditing purposes. In some models, this can be accessed via WIFI.
o USB
Some autoclaves can save their operating logs to a removable USB device.
o Ethernet
Some autoclaves allow their logs to be accessed by LAN over a cable connection.
o Printer
Whether the unit can report its log in hard copy.
o Noise
How noisy the unit is while running. This is important if the autoclave is in the area where patients are seen.
o Maximum load
The maximum weight of solid materials which the unit can clean at once.
o Power
The maximum power used by the unit.
o Price inc VAT
The best price we have found for each unit, comparing across stockists. Prices include VAT.
With these features in mind,
here are the autoclaves.

W&H
W&H have been making dental equipment since 1890 with a particular focus on handpieces. Nowadays they make a very wide range of dental products and consumables and are well known in the UK for their dental autoclaves, which are the most widely-available along with those from Prestige/Tuttnauer and Newmed. Their B-class autoclaves have slightly different functionality, with Lina being the most economical, Lisa the most expensive, and Lara between the two.
