Front 11

liquid/chemical sterilzer

Back 11

10 hours, room temp. sterilizes things that cannot withstand heat. takes a long time and solution is toxic, rinse with non-sterile water, cannot wrap instruments, difficult to test it

Front 12

Ethylene oxide

Chemical vapor sterilization

Back 15

270 F for 20 min/ Very reliable, can be monitored. Causes little rust and corrosion on metal. Efficient time. Instruments can be wrapped or loose. Can be used closed metal containers. Plastic and other materials can be destroyed. Needs good ventilation. Needs special solution. Stinks

Front 16

Steam under pressure sterilization - autoclaves, statim

Back 16

250 F for 30 min/ wrapped. Easy to use and monitor. Can be used with wrapped or unwrapped hand pieces. Statim sterilizes in 3 to 6 min/ can use flash sterilization. May corrode instruments if drying is not complete. Not for use with many plastics. Takes 60 min/ to dry. Dental burrs can't touch each other. cannot use closed containers.
