Manicure services are provided by beauty salons, nail bars and individual masters. But such a familiar service can be dangerous. If the master has not sterilized the instruments well enough, then a fungal infection may be added to the fashionable nail design.
In order to ensure safe work, the master must use a working and high-quality sterilizer and conscientiously follow all the rules for sterilizing instruments. Nowadays, dry-heat ovens are becoming increasingly popular among sterilizers.
Purpose and principle of operation of the dry-heat oven
A dry-heat cabinet for manicure instruments is a sterilization device that cleans instruments using dry steam. It is designed to destroy microorganisms from the surface of metal and glass objects. Dry-heat ovens were the first to be appreciated by doctors, who use them to sterilize instruments that have been in contact with the blood of patients.
Later, aesthetic medicine clinics began to use this sterilizer, and then it began to be used in beauty and nail salons. The dry-heat oven is a heat-resistant chamber equipped with a heating element and stainless steel trays for placing sterilized instruments.
Modern dry-heat ovens have a display that allows you to adjust the temperature and sterilization mode.
In order to sterilize manicure instruments in dry heat, you need to pre-treat them with a disinfectant. Then place them in trays inside the sterilizer. For some types of dry-heat ovens, it is necessary to pre-seal the tools in a craft bag.
Next, you need to close the sterilizer lid and select the processing mode on the display. Once turned on, the heating element inside the cabinet circulates hot air, which destroys all microorganisms that survived disinfection.

Kinds
There are several types of processing of medical, manicure and cosmetic instruments:
| Type of processing | Principle of sterilization |
| Ball | Cleaning occurs by immersing the instruments for ten seconds in a flask filled with quartz balls heated over 220 degrees. |
| Glasperlen | Sterilization is carried out with glasperlene balls heated to a temperature of over 100 degrees. The tool is lowered there for 10-30 seconds. |
| Ultrasonic | Cleaning occurs due to a special solution that bubbles from ultrasonic waves and the bursting bubbles destroy all microorganisms. |
| UV | Cleaning is carried out using UV rays that destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens. Essentially, it is a disinfectant. |
| Air-steam | Sterilization occurs due to the circulation of hot air or steam. The temperature can vary from 135 degrees for steam to 260 degrees for dry air. |
Among the air-steam sterilizers, there are an autoclave and a dry-heat oven. An autoclave is more expensive, but allows you to quickly sterilize various instruments due to treatment with 135-degree steam. A dry-heat oven is cheaper, but it only processes metal tools with dry steam . The high temperature of the dry heat can damage the plastic or fabric.
How does a manicure sterilizer work: types of tools
After starting the sterilizing manicure device, the entire surface of the instruments loaded into the chamber is treated using hot air or quartz. The functioning of a disinfector directly depends on its design features, so let's look at the existing options for disinfectants.
Have several sets of instruments in stock if you do not have time to sterilize them before clients arrive.
Quartz or ball sterilizer for manicure instruments
The device is a small flask, often in a plastic case. Quartz balls act as a disinfectant, which are heated to a temperature of 250° and process the full chamber of instruments within 20-30 seconds.
Plastic tips can be sterilized once a week if you have few clients. You can find filler (balls) for such a device on sale, and they must be changed at least once a year, otherwise they will lose their ability to disinfect instruments.
The quartz sterilizer takes some time to heat up. A minimum of 30 minutes must pass from the moment of switching on until actual sterilization.
GOOD TO KNOW!
Roll-on nail disinfectant may dull the sharpness of manicure supplies. This is one of the important disadvantages that should be taken into account when choosing technology.
Manicure UV sterilizer for instruments: features
Contributes to the processing of objects made from any materials. It is not intended to destroy dangerous viruses that are transmitted through the skin.
UV sterilizers are devices that are suitable for home use if you do manicures only for a certain circle of people. Most dangerous microorganisms can withstand exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This device is ideal for decontamination of items such as brushes, brushes, napkins, tampons and other similar manicure accessories.
In thin nail design brushes, only the bristles can be sterilized.
Gasperlene disinfectant: basic properties
The gasperlene type of sterilizer is somewhat similar to the quartz type, since the disinfectant filler is also balls. After starting the device, the glass beads are heated to a temperature of 250°. When they come into contact with manicure instruments, all types of potentially dangerous bacteria are destroyed.
There are individual instructions for using this type of device, so read it before use. The devices are able to prevent the transmission of viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis; their pathogens die under the influence of high temperature.
What are the benefits of dry heat for manicure tools?
A dry heat device is a kind of miniature oven designed to destroy microorganisms on pedicure and manicure devices. The processing temperature of this type of sterilizer is 250°. The inner chamber is made entirely of metal, so only iron tools can be processed in it.
Some models of dry-heat ovens have a cooling function, which allows you to use the devices immediately after disinfection. Inside the device is capable of placing a full set of working accessories, including files, nippers and tweezers when opened.
Autoclave sterilizer for manicure instruments
An autoclave is a good alternative to dry-heat appliances. The temperature in such pressurized devices reaches 134°, but this is not always enough to destroy some viruses.
Before placing in an autoclave, you can additionally disinfect instruments with an alcohol solution. In the device chamber, you should place the instruments strictly in one row, without overlapping them. The processing time for devices is 20-25 minutes.
Flaws
But dry heat sterilizers also have disadvantages:
- Duration of the sterilization process.
- The need to follow the rules for loading tools to ensure access to hot air.
- Suitable for use with metal and glass instruments only.
Instructions for sterilizing manicure instruments in a dry-heat oven
The dry-heat cabinet for manicure instruments must be used as described in the instructions.
Depending on the model of the device, some nuances of operation may vary, but the general rules are the same for all devices:
- First, the instruments must be placed in a disinfectant solution. The processing time and dilution method are indicated in the instructions for the disinfector.
- After disinfection, it is necessary to rinse the instruments in running water with a brush or rag.
- Next, you need to conduct a test for hidden blood by wiping the working surface of the instrument with a reagent. If the reaction does not occur, then you should rinse the instrument and proceed to the next step. If the reagent has changed color, you must return to step 1.
Air-steam type of treatment for manicure tools. - Cleaned instruments must be dried on a cloth, which must also be regularly subjected to special treatment.
- Dried instruments are sealed in a special craft bag with a gray sticker attached to it. In addition, the craft package must indicate what instrument is inside, the date of its sterilization and the name of the person in charge. All notes on the craft bag are made before the tools are placed in it. If you sign it after the instrument has been removed and sealed, there is a risk of damaging the package and breaking its seal.
- The dry-heat oven heats up to 180 degrees.
- Kraft bags with contents are placed in trays inside the sterilizer.
- After the lid of the dry-heat cabinet is closed, you can set the time and processing mode on the display.
- After processing is completed, the Kraft bags are removed from the dry heat, but are not opened.
- The gray sticker changed color and turned brown. This is an indication that the contents of this craft package were sterilized in dry heat.
- The craft bag is opened in front of the client. This guarantees and demonstrates the sterility of manicure instruments.
In a closed package, sterility is maintained for a month.
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.
Device selection criteria
A dry-heat cabinet for manicure instruments is required by salons, nail bars, and professionals working at home.
They all choose sterilizers based on 5 main criteria:
- Degree of disinfection. Does the sterilizer destroy all pathogens and their spores? The higher the instrument processing temperature, the higher the level of disinfection. The leader in this indicator is a dry heat sterilizer. Second place is shared between ball and glasperlene.
Glasperlene sterilizer disinfects faster than a dry-heat oven for manicure instruments. - Sterilization speed . This criterion is important for manicure salons with a constant flow of clients. The less time spent on sterilization, the faster you can start working with the next client. Here, the dry-heat oven does not show very good results, since it takes 60 minutes to completely sterilize the instruments. For comparison, a Glasperlene sterilizer does the job in 10 seconds. But this is not a reason to give up dry heat. In beauty salons with high traffic, the master uses several sets of tools. And while one set is sterilized, you can work with the other. Craftsmen who work from home, as a rule, do not work with a continuous flow of clients.
- Intuitive interface or ease of use of the sterilizer . The simpler the sterilization process is, the fewer mistakes will be made.
- Size and number of tools processed at a time . These are proportional indicators. The larger the sterilizer, the more instruments can be loaded into it at one time. But “more” does not mean “better”. For large salons with a large flow of clients, a large sterilizer is indeed useful. It will allow you to avoid creating queues and process all the necessary tools at once. But craftsmen working at home don’t need a large sterilizer. They won’t accumulate so many tools even in one day. In addition, home workers, as a rule, do not have space to place a large sterilizer. It is better for them to choose more compact models.
- Price . It may depend not only on the actual characteristics of the sterilizer, but also on the retail markup and the manufacturer’s brand.
How to choose a dry-heat oven
Before you start looking at specific models, take a look at your customer turnover and how many tools you use. Now let's take a closer look at the criteria you should pay attention to.
First of all, dry heaters are distinguished by their capacity, i.e. volume. If you work from home, or have a small office with average client turnover, then a small volume will be enough for you. Beauty salons that have several manicurists and pedicurists need a larger apparatus. This way, the work of the craftsmen will not be slowed down, since a large number of products can be loaded at once.
Pay attention to the performance of the sterilizer. The heating rate will depend on this indicator. The faster it heats up, the faster your tools will be polished and ready to go.
Many models also have additional functions. For example, cooling after processing or communication with a computer to control the frequency of processing. Not all of them are actually necessary, but the cost of such devices will exceed the price of a conventional dry-heat oven.
In addition, pay attention to temperature conditions. Powerful models have higher temperature gradations. The higher the processing temperature, the less time the process will take.
Which sterilizer to choose: review of popular models
When choosing a sterilizer for manicure instruments, it is important to understand where and how it will be used. Craftsmen working at home prefer to use compact and inexpensive sterilizers. Large beauty salons are not limited in funds, so they can afford expensive and spacious models.
Compact sterilizers
The most compact sterilizers are ball and glasperlene. They are the fastest. However, they are quite expensive and require regular replacement of the balls. But even among such sterilizers there are budget models. For example, Macrostop Silverfox. This is a small glasperlene sterilizer. Its dimensions: 17 cm in height and 16 cm in diameter. Heats up to 250 degrees.
In this temperature mode, 15–20 seconds are enough to completely sterilize the instrument. Ultrasonic sterilizers seem more cumbersome at first. But since they combine the functions of a sterilizer and a disinfector, they really save space, since one is used instead of two devices.
But you have to pay extra for 2 in 1 functions. Ultrasonic sterilizers are the most expensive on the market. A relatively affordable model is the Donfeel HB-382 ultrasonic sterilizer. It will cost almost twice as much as Macrostop Silverfox. Ultrasound operates at room temperature. Dimensions of the device: base with a diameter of about 20 cm and height 13 cm.
A dry-heat cabinet for manicure tools can be compact. For example, the TNL PROFESSIONAL model is a box with a base of 31*14 cm and a height of less than 20 cm. Despite its modest size, this dry heater is quite powerful: it can heat up to 200 degrees and maintain this temperature for 2 hours.
This is more than enough to destroy any known microorganisms. But this device also has disadvantages. Due to the small size of the sterilizer, you cannot put a craft bag in it, since this bag will come into contact with the heating elements of the device and will simply burn out, the seal will be broken.
Therefore, instruments in TNL PROFESSIONAL are sterilized without a craft bag; they are simply loaded into the sterilizer tray.
Therefore, in order not to compromise the sterility of the instruments, they will have to be stored directly in the sterilizer until the next use. The WILSON PS-3401 dry-heat oven from Irisk Professional is slightly taller and wider. It can also heat up to 200 degrees, but the timer allows you to keep this temperature only for up to one hour.
This fully complies with sterilization standards. Tools are loaded into this dry heat in craft bags. But it is recommended to tuck the edges of the bag as much as possible to prevent it from coming into contact with the heating elements of the sterilizer and to avoid charring of the Kraft bag.
The dry heat sterilizer model CH-360T is the same in size as the TNL PROFESSIONAL, but the maximum temperature of the CH-360T is higher - it is 220 degrees, and the maximum operating time is 1 hour. Treats instruments in a craft bag with dry air, which allows them to remain sterile for a month after removing the bag from the dry heater.
In addition to the plastic handle on the lid, it also has a wooden handle on the side. It does not heat up and allows you to move the dryer immediately after finishing work. The msd-218 cabinet, like the CH-360T, is a box measuring 31*14*18 cm. It also heats up to 220 degrees, but the timer can be set for 2 hours. Allows you to sterilize instruments both in a craft bag and without it.
The side handle of this sterilizer is made of metal and can heat up during operation. This makes the msd-218 significantly less mobile than the CH-360T. The dryer NV-210 is similar in characteristics to the msd-218, but does not have a side handle.
Among autoclaves it is difficult to find a compact model. It's worth paying attention to Sanity Security. This small Italian-made autoclave weighs only 6 kg with a working chamber volume of 2.5 liters. Its dimensions are 43*30*29 cm. It heats the steam to 250 degrees and processes the tools for half an hour. Although its mechanical timer can be set for 1 hour.
Capacious sterilizers
If the size of the room allows, then you can take larger sterilizers. This will allow you to process more tools at once. Such sterilizers allow you to safely place craft bags inside without fear that they will come into contact with heating elements.
The domestic device “GP-10 MO Air Sterilizer” has proven itself to be high-quality, convenient and inexpensive. It is relatively small - only 42 cm in height, base - 44*45 cm. The operating temperature of the sterilizer is from 50 to 200 degrees . The operating time can be set up to 17 hours.
It needs about half an hour to warm up to 180 degrees, necessary for high-quality sterilization. There is no forced cooling in this device, but there is an emergency shutdown system when overheating above 210 degrees. There are 3 standard operating modes and the ability to adjust parameters arbitrarily.
This sterilizer is used for processing medical instruments, but it is also suitable for manicure instruments.
Another domestic dry heat sterilizer is GP-20-Oh PZ. Unlike its younger brother, it is somewhat larger: 58 * 54 cm at the base and 55 cm in height, but at the same time the volume inside is twice as large - 20 liters. It has a forced cooling system that can operate without supplying cold air from outside. But its heating time is longer and its price is higher.
Models of a number of GPs come in 40 and 80 liters, both with and without additional cooling. The presence of additional cooling affects the price more than the volume of the working chamber of the device. Of the imported models, the Tau 2000 may be of interest - a 20-liter dry-heat oven with three shelves. It operates in a mode from 90 degrees to 200, automatically adjusting the temperature.
Has an emergency shutdown system. The automatic timer can be set for any time up to 2 hours inclusive. If processing is required for more than 2 hours, it can be carried out manually. The most budget class B autoclave is the Youjoy BES-12-B model. Working chamber volume – 12 l.
This autoclave has high power and operates in two temperature modes of 120 and 135 degrees, and provides vacuum drying. Copes with sterilization even of serrated instruments. The autoclave BTD 12L-A is similar in volume and characteristics. But in addition to everything else, it has 8 automatic sterilization programs. That's why it's a little more expensive.
Latest generation models, such as the Vacuklav 31B+ with a capacity of 18 l, do not require a water connection and have additional functions for the treatment of high-risk instruments (potentially infectious). But they also cost many times more.
Instructions for using tendon
The dry-heat oven must be used in accordance with the instructions, so be sure to read them before using them for the first time. Depending on the model, the operating rules may differ slightly, but in general they look like this:
- Put on the craft bag the date and time of processing, information about the instruments, and the details of the person in charge (if sterilization is carried out in the salon). Then place the tools in the bag. Sign the package before packing the instruments, otherwise there is a risk of damage;
- heat the dry heat to 180C;
- place the packages in it. Do not overload the dry heat. Otherwise, the air will circulate poorly and the sterilization will be poor;
- close the door (lid), set the temperature mode, duration;
- wait until processing is complete. Most tendon guns beep when the cycle is complete;
- take out the packages, but do not open them;
- check the color of the indicator on the craft bag. If it changes color, then the procedure was successful;
- if the color remains the same, repeat the procedure.
Important! Before sterilization, it is necessary to disinfect instruments in a special solution. After disinfection, the instruments are washed with running water using a brush. Then, using a special reagent, a test for the presence of occult blood is performed. If the test is successful, the instruments are dried and only then proceed to sterilization.
Cost of dry heat ovens
One of the most important criteria for choosing a sterilizer is price. According to this parameter, dry-heat ovens are more profitable than autoclaves.
The cost of the above models is approximately as follows:
- TNL PROFESSIONAL - a compact dry heater that works without craft bags - costs about 5,000 rubles.
- Wilson PS-3401 1.7 l. costs from 6,000 rubles.
- CH-360T 2 liter capacity. will cost about 4500 rubles.
- msd-218 with a metal handle costs 5300 – 5700 rubles.
- NV-210 without a side handle costs from 8,000 rubles.
- The compact autoclave Sanity Security will cost approximately 25,000 rubles.
- A 10-liter dry heater GP-10 MO without forced cooling costs about 16,000 rubles.
- A 20-liter GP-20-Oh PZ with forced cooling will cost 20,000 rubles.
- A 40-liter GP-40 SPU with cooling costs about 22,000 rubles.
- 80-liter GP with cooling – 25,000 rubles.
- Imported dry roaster Tau 2000 with a volume of 20 liters costs from 32,000 rubles.
- The budget 12-liter autoclave Youjoy BES-12-B will cost 103,000 rubles.
- Similar BTD 12L-A with 8 auto modes – 115,000 rubles.
- New generation 18 liter autoclave Vacuklav 31B+ costs 350,000 rubles.
Of all the modern sterilizers for manicure instruments, dry-heat cabinets represent the optimal combination of price and quality. The temperatures maintained by the dry heat, as well as the processing time, make it possible to destroy all known microorganisms from the surface of instruments that can withstand high temperatures.
Sukhozhar is a budget sterilizer. Small volume models cost less than 10 thousand rubles. Guaranteeing the safety of nail technicians is much more expensive.
