Under Pressure - Full Steam Ahead: A Deep Dive into Steam Sterilizer Anatomy

You load trays and hit start on your steam sterilizer dozens of times a day. But do you actually know what's happening inside that chamber once the door closes? This week, we sit down with Jason Simon, Senior Product Manager at Skytron, to break down how steam sterilizers actually work—from air removal and steam jackets to exposure phases and drying cycles. Jason walks us through the critical role utilities play in sterilizer performance, why just buying new equipment won't fix steam quality problems, and what all those numbers on your cycle printouts actually mean. Whether you're troubleshooting persistent wet packs or just want to understand what's happening behind that steel door, this conversation delivers the technical knowledge you need to make smarter sterilizer decisions! This conversation isn't over! Part 2 with Jason drops next Monday—don't miss it!
