Which type of autoclave uses the steam flush pressure pulse method?

The steam flush pressure pulse method is a specific technique used primarily in the Statim autoclave. This type of autoclave utilizes rapid successive steam pulses to effectively remove air from the chamber, ensuring that steam penetration is thorough and that sterilization of instruments occurs efficiently. This method is particularly advantageous for sterilizing heat-sensitive dental instruments or other items that cannot withstand prolonged exposure to high heat.

The Statim autoclave is designed for quick turnaround times and is favored in environments where speed and efficiency are essential, such as in dental offices. By using the steam flush pressure pulse, the device ensures that steam reaches all instrument surfaces, enhancing the effectiveness of the sterilization process.
