NSK iClave Plus Autoclave Insight: By Carl Wise

The NSK iClave Plus Autoclave is an advanced 18-litre sterilisation unit designed to meet the highest standards of modern dental practice. Engineered for fantastic performance and user convenience, it combines cutting-edge technology with an intuitive interface and offers an exceptional solution for instrument sterilisation.

With its sleek and sophisticated design, the iClave Plus not only complements the aesthetics of any clinical environment but also prioritises ease of use and maintenance. The control panel is clearly laid out, ensuring excellent visibility and straightforward operation for busy dental professionals.

A standout feature of the iClave Plus is its innovative copper chamber, which provides 50% more usable space compared to conventional stainless-steel chambers of the same external dimensions. This increased capacity is a significant advantage, allowing more instruments to be sterilised per cycle without the risk of overcrowding. By promoting better spacing, the unit helps ensure greater safety and more consistent sterilisation results.

Advantages of the NSK iClave Plus Autoclave:

• Rapid Sterilisation Cycles: Thanks to the copper chamber and adaptive heat system, the iClave Plus delivers fast and reliable sterilisation in just 18 to 35 minutes (Class B and S standards), including the full drying phase.
• Enhanced Drying Efficiency: The iClave Plus maintains optimal performance even as temperatures fluctuate. Its proprietary heating system significantly reduces internal condensation, ensuring more effective and consistent drying of instruments.
• Economical & Environmentally Friendly: Designed with sustainability in mind, the iClave Plus uses less electricity and water, helping to lower your environmental footprint while delivering excellent energy efficiency.
• Gentle Handpiece Sterilisation: The combination of a copper chamber and adaptive heat system ensures uniform internal temperatures, allowing for safe, gentle, and thorough sterilisation of delicate handpieces.

• Maintenance with Filter: Greater safety is guaranteed thanks to the ventilation system through a bacterial filter during the drying phase, eliminating the possibility of any re-contamination.

Our Review:

Using the NSK iClave Plus Autoclave first-hand in our workshop for MC Repairs has truly been a game-changer.

We’ve also been particularly impressed with how the unit handles delicate handpieces. The sterilisation process is not only thorough but also gentler and safer, giving us peace of mind that even our most sensitive instruments are being treated with care.

Overall, the NSK iClave Plus has become an essential and vital part of our repair process.

Looking at the many advantages the NSK iClave Plus Autoclave offers, it’s clear why it stands out as a fantastic Autoclave by NSK. With the copper chamber that not only accelerates the sterilisation process but also improves drying efficiency, saving both time and energy.
