We use the autoclave to sterilize surgical instruments. With 40-50 surgeries per clinic, we have to continually run the autoclave to make sure we have enough spay packs and neuter packs to get through 50 surgeries. Our current refurbished autoclave is a workhorse, but we could use a larger autoclave so we can sterilize more packs at one time. We are hoping to raise $2,500 for a new autoclave.
