Abstract
A treatment chamber or treatment carrier for use in a device for treating a medical or dental instrument. The device comprises a housing, which at least partially surrounds the instrument. The device also comprises at least one conductor made of an electrically conductive material layer applied to the housing for converting electrical energy into thermal energy, and at least two electrical contacts embedded in the conductor for supplying the at least one conductor with electrical energy. A treatment device having such a treatment chamber and/or such a treatment carrier is also described.
Claims20
A treatment chamber or treatment carrier for use in a device for treating a medical or dental instrument, comprising:
- a housing which at least partially surrounds the medical or dental instrument,
- at least one conductor made of an electrically conductive material layer applied to a surface of the housing as a coating for converting electrical energy into thermal energy, and
- at least two electrical contacts connected to the at least one conductor to supply electrical energy to the at least one conductor.
A device for treating a medical or dental instrument, comprising:
- a control unit for controlling and/or regulating a treatment process,
- a power supply for connecting the treatment device to a power source,
- at least one media supply having at least one of a media storage device or a connection for an external media source, and
- a treatment chamber or a treatment carrier for the instrument, the treatment chamber or treatment carrier comprising a housing that at least partially surrounds the instrument and at least one conductor which is formed by a coating on a surface of the housing.
A treatment chamber or treatment carrier for use in a device for treating a medical or dental instrument, comprising:
- a housing which at least partially surrounds the medical or dental instrument,
- at least one conductor made of an electrically conductive material layer applied to a surface of the housing for converting electrical energy into thermal energy,
- at least two electrical contacts connected to the at least one conductor to supply electrical energy to the at least one conductor, and
- at least one dielectric layer inside of the housing to electrically insulate the at least one conductor.
