Dental heat sealers are used with sterilization tubing and similar materials to create custom-sized sterilization packaging. These simple devices heat up quickly and allow the packaging material to be placed beneath an arm that presses it into the heating element to create a proper seal. A heat sealer should be simple to use, and having the ability to set the heat level can allow it to work with multiple materials. A heat sealer should fit on a counter in the sterilization center for easy access.
