This report is about the global steam sterilizer market. Steam sterilizer is a pressure chamber that is used to sterilize equipment and supplies. When placed inside the steam sterilizer, these items are exposed to high temperature steam (usually around 132 degrees Celsius or 270 degrees Fahrenheit) for about twenty minutes. This hot steam will kill germs that simple detergent or boiling water could not. Steam sterilization cycles can be divided into three distinct phases; conditioning, exposure and drying. During conditioning, air is removed from the load and the items in the load are heated to the desired temperature for sterilization. Conditioning is important because if there is any air in the load it may prevent the sterilant from coming into contact with load items, leading to sterilization failure. During exposure, the load is held at a specific temperature for a time known to provide effective sterilization. After exposure, steam is removed from the chamber and the load is dried to prevent recontamination of the instruments through wicking of microorganisms through a wet wrap.
