Reduces Instrument Investment STATIM sterilizes handpieces and instruments for immediate use in as little as 8 minutes, reducing the number required as instruments can be processed ‘just in time’ or between patients. Increases Efficiency Fast point-of-use sterilization makes turnaround a priority, increasing efficiency and virtually eliminates instrument bottlenecks. Gentle on Instruments Our state-of-the-art steam technology is gentle on both solid and hollow instruments. Immediate Steam Generation Unlike conventional autoclaves that need to heat an entire reservoir of water, STATIM uses only a small, specific amount of water required for each cycle. Water is introduced into a heating device referred to as a ‘steam generator’, rapidly heated and converted to steam in mere seconds. Air Removal Using PPPD technology and our patented steam injection process – air is automatically forced out of the sterilization chamber. Cassette System The thin stainless steel walls of STATIM’s fully-removable cassette, (or sterilization chamber) allow for rapid heating and cooling of the chamber. As a result, STATIM meets the conditions for sterilization and drying in a fraction of the time required by a conventional autoclave. Fully Satisfies EN13060 for Instrument Sterilization STATIM continues to meet all EN13060 requirements, powered by advanced microprocessor controlled cycles which deliver validated sterilization at speeds up to 5X faster than most conventional chambered autoclaves. Drying Technology The STATIM 2000 and 5000 have each been designed to provide you with a complete solution: rapid sterilization balanced by rapid drying. Introducing STATIM Dri-Tec drying technology.
