Tabletop Autoclaves for Dental and Outpatient Clinics: Benchtop Steam Sterilizers and Pulse-Vacuum Models

Tabletop autoclave range for dental, outpatient and veterinary clinics and small laboratories: twelve front-loading benchtop steam sterilizers in six control-panel designs and seven pulse-vacuum models, quoted with data sheets.

Key takeaways

19 tabletop autoclaves: six two-model pairs (HP-N24 to HP-N35) that differ by control panel, plus seven pulse-vacuum models (HP-P32 to HP-P38).
Pulse-vacuum air removal is what pouched, porous and hollow loads such as dental handpieces need; gravity cycles are for unwrapped solid items.
The EN 13060 cycle class, chamber volume and programs of each model are confirmed on the data sheet sent with the quotation, not assumed.

This collection lists every tabletop autoclave we supply to dental practices, outpatient and veterinary clinics, small laboratories and equipment distributors: twelve front-loading benchtop steam sterilizers in six two-model pairs, and seven pulse-vacuum models for pouched and hollow instruments. It is the table top part of our autoclave and steam sterilizer range.

How to choose a benchtop autoclave

Control panel (HP-N24 to HP-N35). The six HP-N pairs share the same front-loading format and differ mainly in the panel: HP-N24 and HP-N25 have a lever-handle round door with a dial pressure gauge and two rotary knobs; HP-N26 and HP-N27 a white housing with a display window and push buttons and no dial gauge; HP-N28 and HP-N29 a gauge paired with a numeric keypad; HP-N30 and HP-N31 an exposed round metal chamber with a swing-clamp door, top carry handle and a gauge-and-knob panel; HP-N32 and HP-N33 a large color display beside the door; HP-N34 and HP-N35 a gauge above a small display. Each pair has two model numbers; choose by rated volume on the data sheets.
Pulse-vacuum or gravity. The HP-P32 to HP-P38 models carry the pulse-vacuum designation: a vacuum pump removes air from the chamber and load in repeated pulses before steam sterilization, so steam reaches the inside of pouches, textiles and hollow instruments such as handpieces. Gravity cycles suit unwrapped solid instruments. Whether an HP-N model suits wrapped, hollow or porous loads depends on its cycle class, confirmed on the data sheet. For a floor-standing pulse-vacuum unit, see the Pulse-Vacuum version in our vertical autoclaves.
Cycle class and records. EN 13060 sorts small steam sterilizers into Classes N, S and B; the class a model is tested to is stated on its data sheet, not in the model name, so ask for it before ordering for dental use. If your local rules require cycle records, ask which models offer a printer or data export.
Cycle time. A complete cycle covers air removal, heat-up, the sterilizing hold, exhaust and drying, so it runs much longer than the hold alone, and drying often takes a large share for pouched loads. Program times for each model are given on the data sheet, so you can match a unit to your instrument turnaround.
Chamber and power. Chamber volume, pressure, temperature and power are confirmed per model with the quotation. Measure your longest instrument or largest tray and count the loads on a peak day, then state the mains voltage, frequency and plug type at the site.

Benchtop steam sterilizers for distributors and clinics

We quote tabletop autoclaves to equipment distributors, dental and medical clinics and veterinary practices by model and quantity. Distributors can quote the whole HP-P35 to HP-P38 group with the HP-P32 to HP-P34 models to offer customers a choice of table top vacuum units, and add HP-N pairs where the cycle class on the data sheet matches the loads. Each quotation lists the machine, trays and accessories, spare parts such as gaskets, fuses and heating elements, packing and the documents for the destination market; MOQ and lead time are confirmed with the quotation. Certificates, declarations of conformity and test reports for the specific product and destination market are provided with the quotation. When you request a quote, tell us your instrument mix and pouch sizes, loads per day, the cycle class and records your local rules require, the mains voltage, frequency and plug type, and the destination country.

Frequently asked questions

+Which tabletop autoclave suits a dental clinic?

Dental clinics that sterilize handpieces or pouched instruments usually need pulse-vacuum air removal, so compare the HP-P32 to HP-P38 models and ask for the cycle class on their data sheets. Clinics that process only unwrapped solid instruments can look at the HP-N24 to HP-N35 pairs. Send your instrument mix and we will confirm the fit.

+What is the difference between the HP-N24 to HP-N35 pairs?

The pairs share the front-loading benchtop format and differ by control panel: gauge and rotary knobs (HP-N24, HP-N25), display window and push buttons (HP-N26, HP-N27), gauge and numeric keypad (HP-N28, HP-N29), round metal chamber with swing-clamp door (HP-N30, HP-N31), large color display (HP-N32, HP-N33) and gauge with small display (HP-N34, HP-N35).

+Are these Class B autoclaves?

The model names do not state an EN 13060 class. Class B is the category for small steam sterilizers that remove air with repeated vacuum pulses and are validated for wrapped, porous and hollow loads; HP-P32 to HP-P38 carry the pulse-vacuum designation, and the class each model is tested to is confirmed on its data sheet rather than assumed.

+How long does a benchtop autoclave cycle take?

Total time covers vacuum pulses or air removal, heat-up, the sterilizing hold, exhaust and drying, so it is much longer than the hold itself, and pouched or dense loads take longer than unwrapped instruments. The program times of each model are given on its data sheet with the quotation.

+Can distributors order several tabletop models in one shipment?

Yes. Distributors can quote the HP-P32 to HP-P34 and HP-P35 to HP-P38 pulse-vacuum groups together with HP-N pairs, and ship them in one consolidated order with other HOPE INTERNATIONAL equipment. Quantity per model, packing and MOQ are confirmed with the quotation.

+Which documents come with a tabletop autoclave order?

Certificates, declarations of conformity and test reports for the specific product and destination market are provided with the quotation. They come together with the model data sheet and user manual. Tell us the destination country so the document set matches your registration or import requirements.
