Why I Like Tuttnauer Autoclaves - By Stuart Booth

I’m here today to talk about why I like Tuttnauer autoclaves. First of all I like the way the door opens –the handle rotates counter clockwise-swings to the left & the door opens to the right to easily access the chamber. The units come with 3 or 4 trays & these trays are all the same size-large. Water for the reservoir pours in at the top which makes it especially handy because you can add water even during a cycle with out having to open the door. Each unit comes with a tray holder so you don’t burn your hands getting hot trays out. Tuttnauer uses a closed door drying system that doesn’t let steam escape out into the room. This is nice because it keeps moisture in the room to a minimum during the complete cycle.

When it comes to the monthly cleaning it’s a breeze with these units as the trays & tray holder easily comes out of the chamber so you can clean & wipe the entire thing. The water sensor is located at the back of the chamber & can also be wiped clean in seconds.
Tuttnauer’s Chamber Brite autoclave cleaner is easy to use. It is a small packet of powder that you pour into the bottom of the chamber, run a short cycle & drain. No messy liquids that you have to measure. Also both valves (safety & jet) that need to be exercised are no problem to access from the hole in the top of the reservoir. There is also a water outlet strainer on the back of the unit that screws out & cleans in minutes This is another way Tuttnauer insures that no trash enters the system. Changing out the door gasket can be done by anyone in minutes & there is only one to deal with.

These autoclaves come in both manual & automatic, & 220 volt models for faster sterilization. Altogether there are 10 models to choose from. Also Tuttnauer has the largest table top sterilizer made at this time with a 15” X 27” chamber for doing large packs & instruments. Printers are available for all of the automatic units. The nice thing about that is if you don’t buy one with the unit at the time of purchase, it can be added later for only the cost of the printer. The interface is already there & no upgrade charge on the controller board. These are just a few reasons we like Tuttnauer autoclaves & sell them through our company.
