An Indian single-door dental UV cabinet (commonly referred to as a UV chamber or UV sterilizer box) is a compact clinical storage unit designed to maintain the sterility of pre-cleaned dental instruments, mirrors, pliers, and minor surgical tools prior to use.

Key Description & Specifications

Purpose: It is strictly a storage and aseptic maintenance unit, meaning instruments must already be autoclaved or chemically sterilized before being placed inside. The UV-C light keeps them microbially safe from airborne contamination between procedures.

Door Design: Single-door vertical layout, typically featuring a magnetic gasket seal, a view window (often tinted acrylic or glass to block harmful UV rays), and an automatic door switch that cuts off the UV light when the door is opened.

Capacity & Trays: Usually accommodates 10 to 12 stainless steel (SS) wire trays arranged in tiers to hold multiple instruments horizontally.

Germicidal Light Source: Equipped with a standard 15W UV-C germicidal fluorescent tube (Philips/equivalent medical grade) emitting ultraviolet rays around 253.7 nm.

Body Construction: Built with a sturdy powder-coated mild steel outer body and a reflective aluminum or stainless steel interior lining to maximize UV ray dispersion across all stored tools.
