Dry Heat Sterilisers

At Quirumed UK, we offer a complete range of dry heat sterilisers designed for medical clinics, dental practices, beauty salons and laboratories. These units eliminate microorganisms and bacteria from tools and instruments using high temperatures in a dry environment, without moisture or pressure.

What Is a Dry Heat Steriliser?

A dry heat steriliser (also called hot air steriliser or dry sterilizer) uses high temperatures — usually around 160–220°C — to sterilise equipment by oxidation. Unlike autoclaves, dry heat sterilisers do not use steam, making them ideal for sterilising materials that are sensitive to moisture, such as metal tools, glass, and powders.

When to Use Dry Heat Sterilisation

This sterilisation method is ideal for:

• Dental clinics that need to sterilise metal tools or burs
• Beauty and tattoo studios for scissors, tweezers and reusable metal tools
• Hospitals requiring high-temperature sterilisation for specific instruments
• Laboratories working with glassware or chemical-resistant materials

• Durable stainless steel inner chamber
• Digital display with programmable time and temperature settings

FAQs – Dry Heat Sterilisation

What is the difference between dry heat and steam sterilisation?

Dry heat sterilisation uses hot air without moisture, while autoclaves use pressurised steam. Dry heat is ideal for tools that can be damaged by water or humidity.

Can I use a dry heat steriliser in a beauty salon?

Yes, dry heat sterilisers are widely used in salons for sterilising tweezers, nail tools, scissors and more. They are a safe and reliable option for metal instruments.

How long does it take to sterilise with dry heat?

Typical sterilisation cycles range from 60 to 120 minutes depending on temperature settings and load size. Some models allow customisable programs for more efficiency.

Are dry heat sterilisers safe for dental tools?

Absolutely. Dry heat sterilisers for dental practices are commonly used for sterilising drills, forceps, and other non-rubber, non-fabric instruments.

How do I maintain my dry heat steriliser?

Keep the chamber clean, avoid overloading, and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for calibration and inspection. We also offer replacement trays and accessories.
