The compact and space-saving fast autoclave for the sterilzation of dental handpieces, contra-angles, and turbines: with an overall operation time of only six (6) minutes, including drying. This time also applies to work with wrapped instruments. The MELAquick^®12 operates with a single-use (non-reusable) water system to ensure longer service life of the autoclave and the sterilized instruments. The MELAquick^®12 features a serial printer interface for connection to the MELAprint^®42. The MELAquick^®12 also offers an additional steam-pressure disinfection program for older dental handpieces and contra angles which cannot be sterilized.
