Important! The dry-heat oven consists of a heat-resistant chamber, inside of which there is a heating element and trays made of stainless steel. It is on them that the instrument to be sterilized is placed.

Most modern models have a display with which you can adjust the sterilization mode and temperature.

For disinfection, the instrument is pre-treated in a disinfectant solution. After this, it is placed in the trays of the device. Some types of devices require the use of craft bags.

After this, the door of the dryer is closed and the operating mode is selected. After turning on the device, heating and air circulation begin. This ensures the destruction of all pathogenic microorganisms that survived the disinfectant solution.

Selection rules

It is necessary to carefully approach the choice. A low-quality device does not process instruments well and infects people. If you need to purchase an inexpensive device, then it is not necessary to choose a device with a large camera, because a small one will do.

When choosing a cabinet, you need to pay attention to the following important characteristics:

1. Camera capacity. For medical organizations they choose large ones, for home use - small ones.
2. Power, temperature, operating time.
3. Price.
4. Additional functions. Some devices have double protection against emergencies and built-in programs. Electronic control system.

It is necessary to choose a device with the desired functions. If some options are not needed, then you should not overpay for the product. Prices also differ depending on the manufacturer.

Before using any device, you should read the manufacturer's instructions. Following the recommendations will allow you to perform sterilization safely and efficiently. In addition, it extends the life of any device.

How to choose a dry-heat oven

If you need a dry heat sterilizer, then the choice must be approached thoroughly and carefully. A poor-quality cabinet can lead to poor handling of instruments and possible infection of people. If you need to buy a dry-heat cabinet for manicure inexpensively, you don’t have to buy a device with a large sterilization chamber; it’s better to buy a small one at a reasonable price. Key points when choosing a dry heat sterilizer:

1. Camera capacity: large - for medical institutions, laboratories or large beauty salons, and small - for working at home.
2. Technical characteristics: power, temperature, processing time.
3. Price.
4. Additional features: double protection against emergency situations, built-in programs, electronic control system, access from a computer, etc.

If there is no dry oven

If equipment is not available, processing can be performed using another method. To do this, you will need ethyl alcohol and sterile gauze. It is necessary to collect the tools and remove dirt from them. Ethyl alcohol is poured into a container and tools are placed in it.

You should wait half an hour. Then the instruments are taken out and washed under running water. After drying, they are placed in the oven for 1 hour at 200-250 degrees. This technique does not guarantee the absolute elimination of viral and fungal infections. The processing method is suitable if the tools are used only for oneself. If manicure is performed by other people, then the presence of a sterilizer is mandatory.

Thus, sterilization of manicure instruments is a mandatory procedure to protect people from infection. A dry-heat oven is ideal for these purposes; the main thing is to choose the right device.

#4 Where to buy dry heat?

Sterilization of instruments is equally important for DIYers, small and medium-sized salons, and large beauty centers.

You will need to purchase the device in any case. However, you should not compromise with your conscience by purchasing dry-heat ovens from Aliexpress.

This is a common practice, but, alas, there are more fakes every day. It is better to pay attention to dry heat in professional online stores for the beauty industry. A trusted supplier guarantees the serviceability of the device, issues a warranty and provides repairs.
