UV Box Instrument Sterilizer VIOLET

What is the difference between sterilizing and disinfecting?

Through sterilization, pathogens can be killed or removed at any stage of development. Disinfecting means bringing dead or living material in a state that is no longer infective.

When do I have to sterilize and when do I have to disinfect?

When invasive interventions or applications are performed with instruments or other work tools, where, for example, contact with skin, muscels or cells takes place, packaged sterilization must be carried out. For interventions or applications where a detectable risk exists for the transmission of microorganisms, a thermal disinfection or even an unpacked sterilization should be carried out. Where the transmission is low to very low, thermal disinfection is sufficient. For surfaces or apparatus, chemical disinfection with disinfectants, ultrasound, UV or ozone is suitable.

What instruments or tools can I enter into the sterilizer?

All instruments or working tools are suitable for the sterilizer, as long as they are not damaged or even broken by heat or steam.
