sterilizer
Kills all microbes
A sterilizer is a device or substance that eliminates microorganisms from surfaces, instruments, or materials.
In medical and laboratory settings, sterilizers use heat, steam, chemicals, or radiation to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens on equipment.
The dental office runs all instruments through the sterilizer between patients.
Bottle sterilizers are common in households with infants, using steam or UV light to sanitize feeding equipment.
