Autoclaveable tool for cleanroom maintenance
A 3/8 inch ratchet drive has been added by US company Steritool to its range of autoclaveable stainless steel hand tools. It complements the company's range of drive sockets and attachments designed for use in cleanrooms and sterile production facilities, as well as the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical sectors.
Made from 17-4 PH stainless steel to the same standards as medical and dental instruments, the tool can be autoclaved thousands of times without deterioration and enables users to maintain GMP standards of cleanliness and sterility with minimal particle generation, Steritool says.
