clavis key.]
1. A kind of French stewpan with a steam-tight lid. --Knight.
[1913 Webster]
2. a device used for sterilizing objects by exposing them to
steam at above atmospheric pressure (and thus at a
temperature above the normal boiling point of water). It
consists of a closed chamber able to withstand internal
pressure, and a means of passing superheated steam into
the chamber. Autoclaves are made in various sizes, and are
much used in hospitals and research laboratories to render
instruments and equipment sterile.
