Stanbridge has introduced the Practice 8 and Practice 10 bench-top sterilisers that are ideal for handling pouched dental instruments. Front-loading, the Practice 8 has an eight inch stainless steel chamber capable of taking up to four trays or up to six pouches, and the pouch option conveniently sterilises instrument sets for a longer safe life.

The Practice 10 is for busy clinics. The standard unit provides downward air displacement for unwrapped instruments on trays. One option includes an integrated reservoir for auto fill. For pouching, a vacuum system pulses at the start of a cycle and pulses again at the end of a cycle to remove moisture and dry the product. This is particularly beneficial when using pouches in accordance with new healthcare regulations. A further option is a numerical record keeping system with a stand-alone printer.

The steriliser is ruggedly constructed with a stainless steel interior and a stove enamelled case, and an operating life of 20 years is expected under normal circumstances. Visit www.stanbridge.co.uk for further details.
