The fractionated vacuum process also aids in faster drying times, improving the workflow by enabling quick re-use of instruments.
The Vacuklav 31 B+ is equipped with a dedicated steam generator, which initiates the sterilization process by producing steam and directing it precisely into the chamber. This design ensures that optimal pressure and temperature are achieved without risk of overheating the chamber. This not only accelerates the sterilization cycle but also preserves the integrity of delicate instruments and textiles, making the Vacuklav 31 B+ a versatile tool for any healthcare setting.
