Autoclaves & Steam Sterilizers for Medical, Dental & Laboratory Use
Portable, table top, vertical and horizontal autoclaves (steam sterilizers) for clinics, dental practices, hospitals, CSSDs and laboratories.
82 products
Key takeaways
- 82 steam sterilizer models in four formats: portable, table top, vertical and horizontal.
- Pulse-vacuum table top models (HP-P32 to HP-P38) remove air from the chamber in pulses before sterilizing, which matters for wrapped loads and hollow instruments.
- Chamber volume, cycle programs and power supply are confirmed per model with the quotation.
An autoclave sterilizes instruments and materials with pressurized saturated steam. This collection lists medical autoclave sterilizers for clinics, dental practices, hospitals, central sterile departments and laboratories, from hand-portable units to horizontal chamber sterilizers.
How to choose an autoclave
- Portable autoclaves (HP-N01 to HP-N06, HP-P23 to HP-P28) suit small clinics, field programs and labs with low daily loads. HP-P25 and HP-P26 are digital models; HP-P27 and HP-P28 can be heated by coal or by electricity.
- Table top autoclaves (HP-N24 to HP-N35 and the digital HP-P29 and HP-P30) sit on a bench in dental and outpatient rooms. The pulse-vacuum range (HP-P32 to HP-P38) removes air in pulses before sterilizing, which matters for wrapped loads and hollow instruments.
- Vertical autoclaves (HP-N07 to HP-N23, HP-P01 to HP-P22) load from the top and take larger batches of dressings, media and lab materials. P-series versions include normal, spiral, with-dryer, internal-circulation drying and pulse-vacuum models.
- Horizontal autoclaves (HP-N36 to HP-N46) load from the front for hospitals and central sterile supply departments.
Before you request a quote for an autoclave machine, list your load types (solid, wrapped, hollow, liquids), daily cycle count, power supply and available space. Chamber volume and cycle programs are confirmed per model with the quotation.

Frequently asked questions
+Which autoclave is best for a dental clinic?
Most dental clinics use a table top autoclave because it fits on a bench next to the treatment room. Handpieces and wrapped instruments need effective air removal, so clinics that process them usually choose a vacuum-type model such as the pulse-vacuum HP-P32 to HP-P38. Check the cycle type your national regulations require and include it in your inquiry.
+Which autoclave is used for surgical instruments?
Wrapped surgical instrument sets are usually sterilized in vacuum-type autoclaves: pulse-vacuum table top units in clinics, and larger horizontal chamber sterilizers in hospital central sterile departments. Tell us the tray size and the number of sets per day and we will propose suitable models.
+What is the difference between an autoclave and dry heat sterilization?
An autoclave uses saturated steam under pressure, which transfers heat quickly and sterilizes at lower temperatures and in shorter times than dry heat. Dry heat ovens use hot air and are used for items that steam would damage or cannot penetrate, such as some powders and oils. This collection lists steam sterilizers.
+What is a vertical autoclave used for?
Vertical autoclaves load from the top and hold tall baskets, so hospitals and laboratories use them for larger batches of dressings, linen, glassware, culture media and waste. Models with a drying function, such as HP-P16 to HP-P18, dry the load after the sterilization cycle.
+What should I include in an autoclave quote request?
List the load types (solid, wrapped, hollow, liquids), the chamber volume you need, cycles per day, power supply (voltage, phase and plug), water supply, whether you need a printer or cycle record, and the destination country.
