The process of instrument preparation in the dental practice in detail:
What devices are needed for instrument preparation in dental practices?
-
Ultrasonic cleaning device (Recommended)
-
Thermodesinfector or special cleaner for handpieces (Necessary)
-
Sealing device (Recommended)
-
Autoclave (Necessary for critical instruments)
Ultrasonic Cleaning Device:
You can manually pre-clean instruments with cement, alginate, or water-repellent bonding residues. The result is more time-saving and reproducible with the FREE3 or FREE9 ultrasonic cleaner. For this purpose, commercially available cleaning solutions are diluted with distilled water and effectively freed from coarse dirt in the ultrasonic cleaner. Only a power outlet is needed for the installation of the ultrasonic cleaner.
Thermodesinfector:
The AquaPlus thermodesinfector is safe, reliable, and easy to use. Its very compact design as a tabletop or built-in device is perfect for limited space conditions. Only a power outlet and water supply and drainage are needed for installation. The tabletop device can be conveniently placed on a table. The installation of the built-in variant is comparable to installing a dishwasher in a kitchen.
Sealing Device:
The CertoSeal PRO or CertoSeal PRO Touch provides reproducible and safe sealing seams and is easy to operate. In our shop, you can also find suitable sterilization paper rolls. You can also forgo a sealing device if you choose self-sealing sterilization paper. This option is also available in our shop.
Autoclave:
Angle pieces and turbines can also be sterilized in a large Class B autoclave. The Class B PRO 12L has the advantage of sterilizing up to 3 trays in a maximum of 27 minutes with a volume of 12 liters. The Class B autoclave has short operating times and is easy to use. After sterilization, instruments can be stored for up to six months.
Over 25,000 units of the Class B autoclave have been delivered to practices and clinics for daily use. From experience, we know you can rely on the devices from Steri24. The design of the devices also contributes to a pleasant working environment.
Proper instrument preparation is of utmost importance in every dental practice. Effective workflows, hygiene, and safety can be guaranteed with our devices, even in limited space conditions. With high-quality devices like those from Steri24, dental practices can make instrument preparation efficient and reliable.

Ultrasonic Cleaners for Dental Practices
In addition to autoclaves, you will also find ultrasonic cleaners with us. With an ultrasonic cleaner, you can quickly and effectively clean your instruments in preparation for sterilization in an autoclave.
Cleaning your medical instruments in an ultrasonic device has many advantages. We list the most important ones for you.
- Extremely thorough cleaning: Your instruments are freed from dirt, blood, and wound fluid.
- The ultrasonic cleaner works with waves combined with water and/or a cleaning solution: Your instruments are not damaged.
- Suitable for a variety of medical instruments: hollow forms are also no problem for the ultrasonic cleaner.
- Easy to use and lightning fast.
Hygiene Guidelines for Dentists
There are legally required processes for instrument preparation in dental practices. These processes help minimize the transmission of diseases. The following guidelines apply to the sterilization of instruments in the dental practice:
- The sterilization of critical instruments, substances, and other materials that come into direct contact with sterile tissues or organs is mandatory.
- Sterilization is carried out with a dental autoclave that is equipped with a fractionated pre- and post-vacuum and an automatic drying program. The CertoClav Class B Pro autoclave meets all these guidelines. Furthermore, the autoclave is tested by the notified body TÜV Rheinland. With this top-class autoclave, you can process packaged, hollow instruments, textiles, and handpieces.
Why an Ultrasonic Cleaner for Your Dental Instruments?
Medical instruments must always be sterile before they can be used. The first step in this process is cleaning your medical instruments in an ultrasonic cleaner. An ultrasonic cleaner thoroughly and quickly removes blood, wound fluid, and dirt from your medical instruments. Afterwards, you can sterilize them in a CertoClav. CertoClav is a specialist in the field of medical ultrasonic cleaners. Our devices comply with all medical guidelines.
Medical instruments are cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner according to the principle of cavitation. Pressure and sound waves create gas-filled bubbles that then burst. The formation and implosion of these bubbles generate tens of thousands of currents that clean the instruments, resulting in an extremely thorough cleaning.
