MELAG - non-rusting materials
All parts of the Vacuklav
®
24-B/L which come into contact with steam are made of non-rusting material. The
autoclave chamber and its door are made of stainless steel, pipes carrying steam are made of Teflon, and
threaded fittings and magnet valves are made of brass.
Drag-in rust
The use of non-rusting materials excludes the formation of rust as a result of the components of the autoclave.
Where rust forms on the autoclave or the items to be sterilized, investigations have repeatedly shown that this
rust has been brought in from other sources. It should be borne in mind that rust can form even on best quality
stainless steel instruments, for example as a result of improper treatment with chemical cleaning agents or
disinfectant during preparation for sterilization.
Preparations of items for sterilization
The example of drag-in rust shows how important it is to prepare items properly for sterilization, and
particularly the following points:
Handpieces and angles should be cleaned before the sterilization in accordance with the manufacturers’
instructions and maintained (e.g. oiled).
