Sterilisation and Maintenance.

When choosing an autoclave/sterilizer it is important to consider not only the cycle time, capacity and price but also the support available after purchase. Does it come from a brand you recognise?

DecaDent only supply sterilization and maintainace equipment that has been tried, tested and proven from leading manufactures ensuring your practice receives the most reliable machine on the market.

Autoclaves are split into types, the two most commonly required by dental practices are type S for solid instruments and type B for hollow instruments.

Handpiece maintenance systems either disinfect and oil or just oil your handpieces, they provide the correct amount of oil to the handpiece ensuring the handpiece is correctly maintained.

Washer disinfector units have become essential pieces of equipment for busy practices, DecaDent has solutions for all for practices and the space they have available; be it counter top or under-counter.

The Lisa Steriliser is now even faster with ultimate connectivity.

The new Lisa sterilizer with the easy to use colour touch screen and user-friendly menu structure fits perfectly into your dental practice.

The faster performance of the new Lisa is based on the patented Eco Dry technology that allows precise management of B-cycle steam sterilization for an average load (2kg) in 30 minutes.

A wide range of integrated features for traceability reduces paper handling, time and money without requiring additional software or a PC. In addition, the new Lisa Mobile App helps you monitor up to 4 sterilizers at any time and place in the clinic.

The modern and practical aesthetic design enhances the ergonomics and simplifies maintenance making your life easier and more comfortable.

The W&H Lisa is available in 17 & 22 litre capacities.

W&H Lisa Mini 5L

The fast and small B-class sterilizer for practices where decontamination room space is at a premium — the Lisa Mini gives you full W&H cycle capability in a footprint that fits under a standard worktop.

The 5-litre chamber processes up to 1.5 kg or around 22 handpieces per cycle, and cycle times are among the fastest in its class: 17 minutes 45 seconds for wrapped handpieces and 8 minutes 45 seconds for unwrapped loads. For a busy single-surgery practice or a second unit alongside a larger autoclave in a group site, that’s often the difference between having enough sterile instruments through the afternoon list and running short.

Cycle options cover everything HTM 01-05 and modern practice will ask for: Type B Universal at 134°C, Type B Prion at 134°C with an extended 18′30″ hold, Type B Universal at 121°C for heat-sensitive items, and S-class wrapped and unwrapped 134°C cycles. Automatic water filling with an integrated funnel means no more manual jug refills, and an optional demineraliser connection removes the water-quality variable entirely.

Traceability is built in rather than bolted on — cycle records to USB, barcode label printing for pouches, Wi-Fi and LAN for direct download to the practice PC, and cloud logging through W&H ioDent with remote monitoring via the Steri App. If the CQC inspector wants to see the last twelve months of cycle logs, they’re one click away rather than a rummage through a printer paper roll.

Footprint — 440 mm wide × 200 mm high × 666 mm deep, so it sits under a standard 720 mm-high worktop with room to spare.

W&H Lara XL (28L)

The Lara XL is W&H’s high-capacity B-class autoclave for multi-surgery general and specialist practices — 28 litres of usable chamber space, six trays, and up to 7 kg of wrapped instruments or 9 kg loaded in containers per cycle. For a practice running four or more surgeries, that’s the difference between one autoclave running back-to-back all afternoon and one autoclave keeping comfortably ahead of the day list.

Standard B-class cycles run at 28 minutes, and the optional S FAST cycle turns round unwrapped instruments in 20 minutes when the reception is looking at a fully-booked emergency slot. Automatic water filling — main and used-water tanks at 4.8 and 5.1 litres — means the decon nurse isn’t manually refilling between cycles.

Traceability comes as standard: five USB ports for cycle-log storage and back-up, Ethernet for direct network integration, and full compatibility with barcode label printing so each sterilised pouch is linked to its cycle, its operator and, where you want it, its patient. The optional Elitrace activation code adds full cycle-attribution reporting for CQC evidence packs.

Footprint — 492 mm wide × 455 mm high × 614 mm deep, 54 kg empty. Fits comfortably in most fitted decon layouts.

W&H Lyla

The Lyla is W&H’s entry-level S-class sterilizer — the specification for practices that want compliant, fast, reliable autoclave capacity without paying for a full B-class unit, and that value the option to grow into B-class later. Available in 17-litre and 22-litre chambers in the same compact 465 × 452 × 646 mm case.

Four cycles as standard: S Wrapped 134°C (38–46 minutes total), S Unwrapped 134°C (20–27 minutes), S Prion 134°C (52–60 minutes) and S Gentle 121°C for heat-sensitive items. A 3.5-inch colour touch screen keeps the interface consistent with W&H’s larger sterilizers, so an assistant who’s trained on the Lisa or Lara can operate a Lyla without retraining.

Where the Lyla earns its place is in the easy S-to-B activation-code upgrade — a practice can buy the Lyla now and unlock full Class B operation later without swapping the machine, which suits squat practices where volume is still being established and multi-surgery groups standardising on one unit across sites of different sizes.

Built-in USB cycle logging, optional barcode scanning and printing, ioDent cloud integration and remote monitoring through the Steri App all come as standard.

W&H Thed and Thed+

Thermal washer-disinfectors — the piece of equipment HTM 01-05 essentials-quality decon rooms are gradually moving to as the compliance standard tightens away from manual scrubbing. 64 litres of chamber, dual-level washing that lets a full instrument load and a handpiece cycle run in the same footprint, and standard cycle times under an hour, with handpieces reprocessed in around 35 minutes.

Available in two form factors from the same platform — the underbench Thed (598 × 815 × 628 mm) fits below a standard decon worktop, and the tabletop Thed+ (598 × 599 × 628 mm) sits above it in practices that would rather keep the underbench zone free for other equipment. Both use W&H’s BePro process chemicals, in a drawer on the Thed or in an internal cartridge on the Thed+.

Thed vs Thed+. The Thed+ adds full automation — automatic rack recognition and automatic programme selection based on the load it detects, EliSense colour-coded status lighting visible from across the decon room, and Eco Dry drying. In practical terms, that means the assistant loads the machine and presses start once — the Thed+ chooses the right cycle. The Thed is the same platform with manual programme selection.

Both units meet ISO 15883 parts 1, 2 and 5 with active HEPA-filtered air drying to prevent recontamination, and connect through USB, Wi-Fi and LAN to ioDent for cloud-based cycle logging and remote monitoring through the W&H Steri App.

Den Dental Group has been using DecaDent since April 2013. The service they offer is exceptional. I can’t speak highly enough of Mike Bojko for servicing our chairs and suction motors, his experience and knowledge outweighs any of the previous companies we have used in the past. Managing the equipment for a fairly large company, the communication I receive from Mike is excellent, I am kept up to date and informed of everything that is going on in every one of our practices. The communication extends to the DecaDent office; the service is fantastic. The team are very professional and give you their undivided attention however big or small the job. They respond very quickly and are always on the end of the phone. They also keep me informed of every stage from ordering and lead times right through to when products have been dispatched.

Debbie Boorer, Den Dental Group - Devon

Miles and the DecaDent Team offered me a great service from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to other dentist’s considering refurbishing their practice. If there was one bit of advice I could offer it would be ‘go for the A-dec 500 chair, it is the best and most comfortable and technically advanced chair I have ever used; wonderful!

Anthea Hardiman, Stoke Lane Dental Practice

In order to achieve “best practice” we decided to install a decontamination room in our Grade 2 listed building. Miles Tucker from DecaDent arrived promptly, following my call, to plan and advise. We quickly came up with a plan, and I had plans drawn within a week. The workmen arrived two weeks later, I have rarely seen more committed or tidier workers, within a total of five working days it was done! Cabinets, flooring, plumbing, decoration and equipment.

Dr Phil Bennett, Lyme Bay Dentistry

We at Savernake Forest Dental Practice were faced with a difficult challenge; to relocate our practice over a weekend. With help from Tony and Miles, our 4 surgeries were dismantled, moved and reinstalled with minimal fuss thanks to thorough planning and great expertise. Along with their good humour and reasonable costs we have had excellent service.

Jonathan Taylor and Judith Denning, Savernake Forest Dental Practice - Marlborough

On behalf of Warrington House Dental practice I would like to say how impressed we all are on the refurbishment of one of our surgeries. Your designs brought us from the 1970’s to 2011. We were especially pleased with the courtesy shown to our patient’s, staff and visitors by your entire team. I was truly grateful to be able to hand over the project managing into your capable hands allowing me to get on with the running of the practice. It was an added bonus having Andy Boulton available on the end of the phone to answer my endless questions. I did not expect that the surgery would be up and running 4 days ahead of my deadline and that we did not incur any extra costs, far surpassed my expectations. I thought that you might like to know that our patients have been impressed with the WOW factor when they see the refurbished surgery.

Chris White, Warrington House Dental Practice

I have used Decadent from the smallest jobs to complete surgery redesign and its always provided with great customer service. It’s often hard in the dental industry to find a company that you can rely upon to deliver on their promises and put the customer first, but decadent always deliver. Even when tested with my design ideas they come through with a complete refit that looks fantastic and took the stress out of the process with a full turn key service. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Ceri Owen Roberts, Elgin Park Dental Practice
We recently relocated our practice from a small two surgery practice in an old Victorian town house, to a brand-new purpose built four surgery practice located by the river. After ringing Deca-dent to see if they could give us a quote, I had the good fortune of contacting Alex Partt, who promptly came down to Cornwall to meet with us in person and listen to our plans. From that moment on we had nothing but the highest quality customer service imaginable, Alex was at our disposal throughout the whole process, either on the end of the phone night and day, or in person at the drop of a hat. He helped us work through every detail of the relocation and was always there to suggest great ideas and solutions to any of our problems along the way.

The team at Deca-dent provided us with two new A-Dec 500 chairs, a new compressor, centralised suction motor, four new x-ray units, all the cabinetry for four surgeries, the decontamination room and the staff kitchen and even helped source and fit our main reception desk complete with our practice logo emblazoned on the front.

All of the work carried out, including equipment supplied and fitted, was done so on time and to a very high standard, integrating seamlessly around all the other trades involved in the build, as the new premises evolved in to the amazing practice we now have.

I cannot recommend Deca-dent enough for all their hard work and skill in helping us realise our dreams and this has been reinforced by the countless compliments and positive feedback from all our patients.

Park Chambers, Wadebridge
We feel fortunate to have forged a great relationship with the team at DecaDent. At our first meeting with MD, Miles, he understood what we wanted to achieve and that we wanted to do something a little bit different. We embarked on a project of fully renovating 4 surgeries working closely with DecaDent… we had free reign to choose our colour schemes, themes for the walls and the technology we wanted to include which was all made possible with their expert knowledge. We now continue our relationship with our annual service package and also engineering support… Mike Bojko is quite an exceptional engineer and puts up with us beautifully!
Kerry Newton-Marsh, The Smile Centre, Liskeard

We were lucky enough to have our practice fitted out by DecaDent. We found them very knowledgeable and professional. The level of service and communications have been second to none. Without them our practice would not be what it is today.

Quayside Orthodontics
I could write a 10,000 word dissertation on how Decadent have transformed a 2000’s decrepit high street bank into the best looking dental clinic in the UK and helped us on the way to becoming officially the Best Dental Clinic in the South West and Wales but I’ll save that for my grandchildren.

But what I will say is this: if you’re looking to build a squat, refurb, add a surgery, relocate, buy equipment or just need solid, dependable maintenance company without getting dental taxed to high heaven (which we all know it happens) then these are your guys.

They built everything for us. From planning the floor layout to hanging the final mirrors, Alex, Dave and their incredible team have been phenomenal. No ask is too big, no details are too small. They will get it right and they know how to do it properly.

Our team love coming to work in our new home and our clients cannot be anything but wowed every single time they walk through the door. Our clinic is special and you guys are too.

Thanks a million..

Gareth Edwards & Zak Kara, Smile Stories, Bournemouth
Decadent managed the project with skill, delivered to date and problem solved when required. Their building team is the best I have seen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company for your build. Very pleased with results!
Dr Elizabeth Eilertsen, Eilertsen Dental Care, Plymouth

DecaDent – excellent. Really good company. No job too small. Always somebody to answer your call to get you going again. Engineers are well experienced and knowledgeable. Spare parts come quickly and are fitted with efficiency, friendly sensible advice. Thoroughly recommend this newcomer to the market having built up a really good rapport with the team over the years.
