What type of dental sterilizer is Lexa?
Lexa is a tabletop steam sterilizer from W&H. It’s designed to remove air rapidly by repeatedly alternating a steam flush and a pressure pulse (SFPP). A vacuum-assisted, closed-door drying cycle follows CDC best practices for dental instrument sterilization, and produces bone-dry loads.
What are the benefits of the Lexa sterilizer?
The Lexa Sterilizer has an 11” diameter chamber with a universal rack that will accommodate four large trays, up to four levels of cassettes, or mixed loads of trays and cassettes. The patented vacuum-assisted, closed-door drying technology from W&H produces bone-dry loads in total cycle times of just 30-70 minutes. Lexa’s design is robust, reliable and easy to maintain and service.
How long does it take to run a cycle on Lexa?
Cycle duration varies by model voltage, cycle selection and load size. The total cycle time for heating, sterilization and drying typically ranges from 30 to 70 minutes.
