Careclave Frau Weltall
The 4-in-1 Solution

Four in one. For all.

Why use 4 products for instrument reprocessing when you can do everything with one single device? Discover the advantages of our multi-talent:

The perfect duo for your workflow: Careclave and Carebox guarantee the best cleaning and disinfection outcomes for the reprocessing of 8 transmission instruments, prophylaxis handpieces or ultrasonic scaler tips in only 16 minutes.

The Carebox takes over the lubrication of the transmission instruments with the fully synthetic MELAG Care Oil gently and lightning fast at the same time. Thanks to the patented iDOS Technology, the required amount of oil is supplied to each instrument in the Carebox. This guarantees economical consumption and optimum care results.

And that is not all: The unique ADDcare station even performs the lubrication of the chuck system directly at Careclave after the end of a program.


Careclave additionally offers you everything you expect from a modern class B autoclave - and even more: Sterilise up to 11 kg load on 8 trays or in 4 MELAstore Boxes in record time.

The revolutionary chamber concept also makes it possible to reprocess and care for instruments in the Carebox and simultaneously sterilise additional instruments on short trays in just one cycle.

Perform the documentation process directly on the large Smart-Touch Display without any extra software solution. ProControl ensures digital proof of a successful reprocessing procedure quickly, safely and paper-free.

For complete traceability, the log files are saved on the MELAG USB stick or in your network.

  • Fact check

    Many myths. Our answers.

    Wrong: Careclave combines a reprocessing and lubrication device with a modern autoclave. Device combinations of comparable quality are already up to 1,000 € more expensive to buy! This system has proven itself. Every second new dental practice or clinic already relies on Careclave!



    Wrong: The lubrication devices currently on the market do not sterilize. So if the autoclave
    fails, then even a care device can not compensate for this failure. 1 device, 2 systems and numerous independent components ensure that your customers can continue to use other reprocessing functions even in the unlikely event of a malfunction.

    But will we let it get that far? Guaranteed not! Because the usual high MELAG quality has already been proven in endurance runs with over 40,000 cycles, in test practices over 2 years and with over 1,000 customers.



    Yes, the Careclave replaces an autoclave as it integrates the automated cleaning, care and disinfection of straight and contra-angle handpieces into a fully-fledged sterilisation device. It should be noted that the instruments can be sterilised in the Carebox. However, the straight and contra-angle handpieces, which are classified as critical, must then be packaged and sterilised again in the Careclave sterilisation programme.

    No, the Careclave does not replace a fully-fledged thermal disinfector.
    Only straight and contra-angle handpieces and other hollow instruments are cleaned, maintained and disinfected. For all other instruments that need to be cleaned and disinfected, the practice still requires a thermal disinfector.

    That doesn‘t have to be the case: Because fewer devices in the decontamination room cause fewer running costs. Our 4-in-1 solution is not only cheaper to purchase, but also reduces the costs for maintenance and validations by about 6,000 € within 11 years.

    That doesn‘t have to be the case: Insufficient chuck care in manual and automated reprocessing is the most common reason for failures and expensive repairs of dental handpieces. Thanks to the documented chuck care as well as the systematic cleaning and oiling, instruments with Careclave remain in excellent condition even in the long term.

    Sounds too good to be true? Then take a look at the test report from the external, independent expert on instrument protection.

    That doesn‘t have to be the case: We want to solve problems from practice for practice. With Careclave we provide your customers with the right solution for the space problem on the worktop. Because with the device concept for cleaning, disinfection, lubrication and sterilisation, customers have up to 45% more space for the safe reprocessing of their instruments. They can do without an extra lubrication device.
