Dürr Dental Hygoclave now available

A-dec Australia has announced a new partnership with Dürr Dental that sees the introduction of the Hygoclave steriliser into the Australian market.

The Hygoclave 40 and Hygoclave 50 range is known throughout Europe and international markets for its ease of operation and efficiency in the dental practice, thanks to its fast operating cycles and flexible drying programs.

The Hygoclave can process dental instruments in as little as 30 minutes, including drying using the "B" Flash cycle with minimal water and power use. Drying time can be extended or run as a separate program to accommodate hard to dry hollow loads.

Simple one-touch controls on the coloured 5" (125mm) touch screen can commence a sterilisation cycle or produce a batch report. A compact printer for producing barcode labels and batch reports is also available.

The intuitive layout of the icon-based user interface with its colour touchscreen display means there is no need to go deep into menus, as all the key functions you need for your day-to-day work are just a matter of clicks away.

For example, you can access the most recently performed sterilisation and test program and run it again directly from the home screen. The Hygoclave has a dedicated interface for connection to practice management and hygiene management software, as well as internal storage capacity for over 100,000 reports which are captured automatically.

An automated door locking mechanism and integrated user management system guarantees secure and easy workflows and the system offers a carefully designed universal program to ensure reliable reprocessing of even complex, hollow shapes.

Hygoclave has extremely flexible water supply options, making it easy to adapt to any practice. The system can be filled manually via the externally accessible tanks, via a suction system from a canister of treated water, or by means of a fully automated fresh water supply via a connection to an optional Dürr Dental or other water treatment system. As an added safeguard, a water quality tester is built into the unit.

Hygoclave is manufactured from quality stainless steel and special high temperature and ionised water-resistant plastics and is available with either a 17L or 22L chamber to suit the needs and throughput of the practice.

The product is also easy to maintain and service-friendly due to its intelligent design which offers the following benefits:

• Modular, simple design allows fast access to all components;
• Helpful service functions via touch screen/graphical user interface; and
• Easy routine maintenance.

Dürr Dental has a proud 80-year record in developing hygiene and medical technology. The Hygoclave range is now available from authorised A-dec dealers across Australia.
