    The Lantor Cube is now approved for daily Bowie and Dick testing in porous load autoclaves, replacing the traditional towel pack. Cost comparisons between the Lantor Cube and the towel pack are now of significant interest.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Device Testing
    • Sterilization Assurance

    Background:

    • The Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) has approved the Lantor Cube.
    • The Lantor Cube is deemed equivalent to the traditional towel pack for specific autoclave tests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the costs associated with the Lantor Cube versus the towel pack.
    • To evaluate the economic implications of adopting the Lantor Cube for routine testing.

    Main Methods:

    • Cost analysis of Lantor Cube procurement and usage.
    • Cost analysis of traditional towel pack procurement and usage.
    • Comparative economic evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • Data on the cost-effectiveness of the Lantor Cube is under investigation.
