Your sterilization room for maximum efficiency!

Save thousands of euros with the MELAG system!

The calculations are based on prices for the German market.

Saving time, money and space when preparing instruments has never been easier:

MELAG system solutions help your practice to increase the efficiency of work processes in the sterilization room and reduce the general costs of instrument reprocessing. By reducing the workload, you can use the valuable working time of your practice team even more efficiently for the treatment of your patients or other practice tasks. At MELAG, we rely on a combination of innovative technologies and coordinated workflows along the entire hygiene process:

Washer disinfectors

The game changer for your workflow - automated reprocessing with MELAtherm 10 Evolution:

"Instrument reprocessing with the MELAtherm ensures satisfaction for our entire team - thanks to fast processes and the best protection against infection."

Dermatology practice Dr. Johanna Kubek, Hofgeismar

kubek

With a washer-disinfector (LD) like the MELAtherm 10 Evolution, your instruments can be processed in a machine with a minimum of personnel. And the best of all: thanks to machine cleaning and disinfection with thermodisinfectors, you not only increase your occupational safety, but also the efficiency of your instrument processing. Thanks to low cycle costs for electricity, water and process fluids of just €1.10, and the short time required compared to manual processing, the purchase of a MELAtherm 10 Evolution already pays for itself after 24 months. As a result, you save up to €7,950 over 2 years compared with manual treatment. At the same time, the working time saved can be put to good use by your practice team, contributing to increased capacity for patient treatment*.

For machine cleaning and disinfection with a washer-disinfector, MELAtherm 10 Evolution is distinguished by a device concept that offers all important functions such as documentation and drying at no extra cost. In addition to excellent value for money when purchasing the unit, the MELAtherm offers low running costs in day-to-day practice thanks to a practice-friendly 2-year or 1,000-cycle maintenance cycle, and free choice from over 1,000 trained service technicians*.

Follow the example set by over 20,000 practices worldwide and rely on the innovative device concept for fast, safe and, above all, economical instrument treatment.

→With MELAtherm 10 Evolution,save up to €31,800 after 10 years compared with manual reprocessing.

Summary

Cost savings through tailored system solutions

Tailored system solutions help medical practices to specifically reduce the time, resources and running costs involved in instrument reprocessing:

  • Automated instrument reprocessing: Thermal disinfectors reduce the amount of manual work required and, through efficient consumption, lower running costs for water, energy and process media.

  • Reduced packaging requirements: Sterilisation containers and tailored trays minimise the need for individual packaging, save on materials and shorten reprocessing times.

  • Fewer devices, lower ongoing costs: Combined solutions such as Careclave integrate several reprocessing steps into a single system and can reduce maintenance, validation and capital expenditure costs.

  • Energy and resource efficiency: Efficient autoclaves reduce water and energy consumption, thereby lowering operating costs in the long term.

  • Faster processes: Short cycle, heating and sealing times save staff time and support a more efficient workflow in the reprocessing area.

Did you know that using MELAstore trays and MELAstore boxes as an indispensable part of instrument reprocessing saves a significant amount of time and money? With the coordinated MELAstore wash trays and sterilization containers, you save up to 30 minutes per reprocessing cycle compared to conventional individual packaging with a sealing device. By using just one MELAstore Tray 100 and one MELAstore Box 100 for 14 instruments, you save as little as 8 minutes compared to the individual sealing of sterilization packaging. As a result, environmentally harmful packaging waste is avoided and your wallet is protected at the same time: MELAstore requires significantly fewer sterilization pouches and thus drastically reduces material costs. If you only use MELAstore once a day, the purchase of these trays and boxes will have paid for itself in less than a year. In addition, the use of MELAstore improves your processes for reprocessing instrument sets through a higher degree of standardization and thus increased efficiency and quality management.

→ Save up to €18,500 per working day over 10 years when reprocessing 3 instrument sets with MELA compared to reprocessing individual instruments.


Would you have thought that the 4-in-1 Careclave 618 solution for cleaning, disinfection, care and sterilization of straight and contra-angle handpieces would turn your dreams of incredible time and space savings into reality thanks to the possible combination loading: By loading the Carebox and instruments on up to 8 trays, the reprocessing and care of 11 kg of instruments is possible in just one cycle - and with maximum energy efficiency.

Normally, regular but above all cost-intensive device maintenance is essential to ensure the reliability of their functionality, as well as to increase their service life and patient safety. However, the device-reducing 4-in-1 Careclave solution eliminates the need for extra maintenance and validation for your devices and instruments and protects against expensive repairs to contra-angle handpieces and collets. So the Careclave is extremely cost-saving and reduces your ongoing operating costs for maintenance and validation by up to €6,000 and reduces the number of instrument sets required, what could be better?

→ Save up to €6,800 in purchase and service costs alone after 10 years compared to an autoclave and an additional device for the reprocessing and care of transmission instruments.

With the MELAseal 200, the most compact validatable sealing device in its class, you also benefit from significant time and cost savings. The sealing device can be initially validated by you independently with the help of a checklist, completely under your own control: With the help of our video tutorials and validation instructions, you can carry out commissioning yourself without a service technician. You can then use the sealing device after just 90 seconds of heating time and seal film packaging one after the other without interruption. The time per seal is just 3 seconds, which means you can use your valuable time and costs more effectively for your patients.

Conclusion:

Implementing MELAG system solutions in your practice can save considerable time, money and space, especially in the sterilization room.

The use of innovative technologies such as the MELAtherm 10 Evolution increases the efficiency of instrument reprocessing, reduces the workload and lowers operating costs. The device pays for itself after just 24 months and then saves up to €31,800 over 10 years. In addition, the MELAstore system reduces packaging waste and saves time and costs through the use of trays and boxes, saving up to €18,500 over ten years. The 4-in-1 Careclave 618 solution offers significant cost benefits through its multifunctionality and reduces maintenance, resulting in savings of up to €6,800 after ten years. The Vacuclave 550, an efficient small autoclave, also reduces operating costs and saves significantly on water and energy costs over its lifetime, up to €8,700 in total over ten years. Finally, the MELAseal 200 sealing device enables further time and cost savings through fast and efficient sealing of film packaging.

All in all, investing in MELAG system solutions is doubly worthwhile for you: because the extremely high MELAG quality - 100% made in Germany - protects against unplanned equipment failures and the associated treatment downtime as well as your wallet. By using MELAG system solutions, you can save up to 65,800 euros compared to conventional device combinations.


The large Vacuclave 550 small autoclave promises similar benefits: it scores highly in terms of cost savings. For you, the Vacuclave 550 is not only cheaper to purchase than two alternative small autoclaves, but also halves your ongoing operating costs, as fewer devices mean lower costs. As a result, you can also save €6,100 on maintenance and validation by using the service-friendly device concept. In addition, the innovative Recovery, DRYtelligence, Coolify and Power Safe technologies enable you to make energy savings worth around €2,200. The large Vacuclave 550 small autoclave also scores highly in terms of environmental protection: Over its entire service life, the Vacuclave 550 saves 1,300,000 liters of water compared to solid water appliances and therefore costs up to €2,600. These cost savings are impressive and can be invested in the treatment of your patients.

→ Save up to €8,700 after approx. 10 years (at 5 cycles per day) compared to two conventional small autoclaves without the technologies presented.
