Flight Clave23+ 23L Class S Autoclave for Clinics in Canada

The Flight Clave23+ is a 23-litre tabletop steam sterilizer for busier dental, medical, veterinary, podiatry, chiropody, tattoo and beauty offices. Flight Dental Systems is a Canadian-owned manufacturer based in Brampton, Ontario. Many listings call it the "Flight Clave 23", "Clave23" or "Clave 23+"; the current version is the Clave23+.

The Clave23+ is a Class S sterilizer. An independent steam generator injects pulses of pressurized steam (positive pressure displacement) so air is removed more completely before sterilization starts. Flight says this reduces maintenance and speeds up the process.

Flight compares it to a Statim: a much larger chamber with similar sterilization times.

Why clinics choose the Clave23+

Capacity for cassettes

The 23L chamber fits 4 trays, or cassettes holding up to 25 instruments per slot, so you can process more in each load.

Fast cycles, dry instruments

Sterilization holds at 134 °C are 4 minutes unwrapped and 10 minutes wrapped or for rubber and textiles. A built-in compressor then dries the load with the door closed in about 30 minutes.

Cycle records without extra paperwork

Each cycle is saved to the USB key as a .txt file that opens on any PC and can be printed. Automatic records support inspection readiness for College and Health Department audits. They are not a compliance guarantee, so please check your own college's or health authority's requirements.

Built to be serviced

Powder-coated solid steel housing, a 300-series stainless steel chamber, quality parts made in Europe and removable panels. The water pump, circuit board, steam generator, heat exchanger and solenoid valves are separate components, and Flight stress tests every unit.

Flight Clave23+ FAQs

Is the Flight Clave 23 the same as the Clave23+?

Yes. You'll see this 23L model listed as Flight Clave 23, Clave23 or Clave 23+. Alpha Scientific supplies the current Flight Clave23+ (SKU A9005-23+).

Is the Flight Clave23+ a Class S or a Class B autoclave?

It is Class S. It removes air with pressure-pulsing steam (positive pressure displacement). Flight's Class B pre/post-vacuum model with a 23L chamber is the ClaveB; call us to compare the two.

Clave16+ or Clave23+: which do I need?

Both use the same Class S technology. The Clave16+ has a 9″ × 14.2″ chamber with 3 trays; the Clave23+ has a 9.72″ × 17.7″ chamber with 4 longer trays and is 27.6″ deep, so check your counter depth (Flight recommends at least 25″ of table depth).

How long does a Clave23+ cycle take?

Sterilization holds at 134 °C are 4 minutes unwrapped and 10 minutes wrapped or for rubber and textiles, followed by about 30 minutes of closed-door drying. Total time depends on the program and load.

Does the Clave23+ print and log cycle records?

Yes. It has a printer and a USB data logger (USB key included). These records support inspection readiness but are not a compliance guarantee.
