Autoclaves Century 2 

Vacuum models

Century 2 uses a powerful vacuum pump to ensure the removal of all the air from within the chamber prior to sterilization.

In the absence of air, steam is able to reach all instrument surfaces, including inside the narrow lumens of hollow instruments such as complex dental handpieces and scopes. The use of a vacuum autoclave is also imperative if instrument pouches or bags are to be used.

On completion of the selected sterilizing cycle, the Century 2's automatic, pulsed, vacuum assisted drying phase, ensures instruments are perfectly dry.

As well as leaving instruments ready for immediate use, post-vacuum drying helps keep valuable instruments in good condition and prolongs their life.

Non-vacuum models

Century 2 utilises a process known as downward displacement - as pressurised steam enters the chamber, air is forced out, allowing the steam to come into contact with all instrument surfaces, destroying harmful bacteria and spores.
A cycle which includes automatic drying can be selected. As well as leaving instruments ready for immediate use, this helps keep valuable instruments in good condition and prolongs their life.
When an extremely fast turnaround of instruments is required, selecting the standard non-vacuum cycle, without drying, can offer a total cycle time of 13 minutes.
Century 2 non-vacuum autoclaves are particularly suitable for applications where predominantly solid instruments are used and a rapid turnaround is imperative.
