FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between Class B and gravity sterilizers?
A: Class B sterilizers (like the T-Edge, Lisa, Bravo) use vacuum technology to remove air and improve steam penetration. They’re ideal for wrapped, hollow, or complex instruments. Gravity sterilizers (like the M11 or EZ10) are better suited for basic unwrapped loads.
Q: What’s the best sterilizer for a dental office?
A: Midmark M11 and Tuttnauer EZ11Plus are highly regarded for their capacity and dependability. For advanced needs, Class B models like T-Edge or Bravo are excellent.
Q: Do you offer service or support after purchase?
A: Yes! We offer ongoing repair, maintenance, and calibration services for every model listed in this comparison.
