Manufacturer Direct. Authorized Reseller. Always NEW.

Don’t Settle for Refurbished. Don’t Gamble With Sterilization.

Most online listings for the Tuttnauer 3870EA/3870EAP are refurbished, reconditioned, or previously used units with unknown service histories. That’s not what you get here.

You’re purchasing a factory‑new, fully warrantied Tuttnauer autoclave from an Authorized U.S. Distributor — not a reseller flipping old equipment.

The Tuttnauer 3870EA / 3870EAP Automatic Autoclave is engineered for facilities that demand maximum throughput, reliability, and large‑capacity sterilization. Built for multi‑practitioner clinics, surgery centers, and high‑volume medical offices, this powerhouse accommodates longer instruments, large cassettes, and high‑density loads without compromising cycle speed or sterilization performance.

Designed for superior productivity, the 3870EA/3870EAP features an intuitive single‑touch control system, rapid‑cycle operation, and three pre‑set sterilization programs with full customization options. Its closed‑door active drying system ensures instruments remain sterile and dry, while the integrated 0.2 µm HEPA filter maintains clean, controlled airflow during the drying phase.

The autoclave’s electro‑polished, long‑life chamber is built for durability, and its advanced monitoring system provides interdependent temperature and pressure tracking, automatic water‑level protection, and cycle recovery in the event of a power interruption. A built‑in printer documents every cycle, including temperature, pressure, time, and system alerts—supporting compliance and traceability.

For facilities that need speed, capacity, and reliability, the Tuttnauer 3870EA/3870EAP delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance, making it one of the most trusted large‑chamber tabletop sterilizers in the industry.
