Best Class B autoclave Morocco 2026: top 5 compared for clinic and practice

Class B, class S, class N: why only B is in this comparison

A Class B autoclave (B for Big) sterilizes all load types: solid, hollow, fine hollow (luminaires), wrapped and unwrapped, using a fractionated vacuum pump that extracts air before steam. It is the only acceptable standard for a Moroccan practice or clinic receiving surgical, dental, podiatry, or aesthetic patients. Class N (simple gravity) and limited-Class S are unsuitable for cannulated instruments or wrapped loads and should no longer equip a healthcare facility in 2026. This comparison therefore includes only true Class B autoclaves distributed in Morocco with documented after-sales.

• 2-3 practitioner clinic, minor surgery → 22L Locamed Class B.
• High-requirement clinic, polyclinic, ISO certification → MELAG Vacuklav 24 B+.
• High volume, multiple ORs, intersite central → Tuttnauer 2840 EL (after plumbing/RO water check).
