NSK – iClave Plus

Air turbines, contra-angles, and other dynamic dental instruments consist of high-precision micro mechanisms and therefore benefit from careful sterilisation to maintain performance. NSK choose to use a highly conductive copper chamber to satisfy Class B, Europe’s strictest sterilisation standard. The system delivers outstanding efficiency despite its large capacity.

20% more capacity than conventional autoclaves

The iClave plus can fully use its 18 litre capacity because it maintains even temperatures throughout the autoclave chamber and constantly controls the surface temperature. The iClave plus offers 20% more sterilisation space than a conventional stainless steel chamber of the same size, ensuring greater safety by reducing instrument overcrowding.

Highly thermal conductive copper chamber with even temperatures

Using copper to construct the chamber gives 18 times more heat conductivity than stainless steel. The copper chamber retains even internal temperature levels throughout despite its large capacity.

Advanced heating system leveraging excellent thermal conductivity

NSK’s innovative heating system optimises the high heat conductivity of copper. Enveloping the copper chamber is a special heater which is also used in satellites, incorporating electro-thermal material embedded in silicone to heat the entire chamber evenly without heat loss.
