You can then guarantee instrument reprocessing in accordance with legal infection control and hygiene regulations to prevent contamination thanks to microorganisms.

What function do film sealers fulfil?

Depending on the treatment method, mechanical sterilisation of instruments is essential in podiatry and chiropody. Only then can it be guaranteed that medical treatment utensils stay absolutely germ-free. In order to be confident of a seamless hygiene cycle in the practice, film sealers or film sealers are required for antiseptic storage.

Pre-cleaned and disinfected drills can be packaged cleanly at temperatures between 170 and 200 degrees using a film sealer. As these are validated heat-resistant sterilisation films, packaging takes place before sterilisation in autoclaves or hot air sterilisers. You can then ensure that instruments can be stored absolutely germ-free and hygienically until their next use thanks to sealing and sterilisation.

Why is sterilisation important in practice?

Sterilisation - just like the disinfection of instruments, accessories and surfaces - is part of everyday practice life. Ideally, the hygiene room should be divided into an unclean area, a clean area and an area intended for storage. Thanks to this division, you prevent contaminated or not 100 per cent germ-free instruments from coming into contact with sterilised instruments.

Sterilisation is the most important step in the hygienic reprocessing cycle if sensitive treatment areas with an increased risk of infection are involved. While disinfection also ensures virtually germ-free, hygienic surfaces and equipment, sterilisation ensures absolute sterility. Medical sterilisers in the shape of autoclaves or hot air sterilisers are used for this purpose, which kill microorganisms thanks to hot steam or hot, dry air.

You can guide through pre-cleaning and preparation before sterilisation using ultrasonic cleaners or washer-disinfectors. If you would like to store instruments antiseptically after sterilisation, then use film sealing or film sealing devices before sterilisation.

Readiness for operation is indicated visually and acoustically so that you can proceed with sealing without wasting time. In addition, thanks to a smoothly adjustable thermostat, freely selectable sealing temperatures should be available for different packaging, depending on the drill.
• Roll holders: You will find separate roll holders along with our film sealers, ideal for use with professional stainless steel roll holders for wall mounting with an integrated cutting device for precise cuts. Suitable for transparent rolls and fast, efficient packaging of accessories.

What types of film sealers are there?

Film sealers are divided into three groups. These include:

• Bar sealer: Sealing is done by hand using a bar and continuous heating. Due to its compact design, it is particularly suitable for smaller practices and less instruments.
• Impulse sealer: The impulse sealer is suitable for precise packaging, even of several instruments in succession. The sealing time and sealing temperature can be set by the user.
• Rotary sealer: Suitable for large quantities of contaminated instruments. During sealing, the sterilisation films are transported on rolls over heating jaws, which enables antiseptic sealing of many instruments and accessories.
