Iranian Experts Manufacture Autoclave Device for Medical Centers
Autoclave is one of the most important devices and laboratory equipment applied for sterilization by using the heat of pressurized steam, Amin Omidi, a member of the Board of Directors of Fanavaran Ayandehnegar Pouya Pars company, said.
“Autoclave is mostly used in medicine for sterilization and in chemical industry for making coatings and rubber packing,” he added.
“Holding clips and unbreakable and antibacterial lids are used in the autoclave produced by our company to provide a safe device to the user,” Omidi said, adding that the Iran-made device is sold half the price of foreign models.
An autoclave is a machine used to carry out industrial and scientific processes requiring elevated temperature and pressure in relation to ambient pressure and/or temperature. Autoclaves are used before surgical procedures to perform sterilization and in the chemical industry to cure coatings and vulcanize rubber and for hydrothermal synthesis. Industrial autoclaves are used in industrial applications, specially in the manufacturing of composites.
Many autoclaves are used to sterilize equipment and supplies by subjecting them to pressurized saturated steam at 121 °C (250 °F) for around 30-60 minutes at a pressure of 15 psi (103 kPa or 1.02 atm) depending on the size of the load and the contents.
