What are autoclaves?
Autoclaves are sterilising machines that use steam, pressure, and heat to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on suitable reusable instruments. In tattoo and piercing studios, they’re commonly used for items like stainless steel grips, tips, piercing tools, and other equipment that can be safely autocalved.
How do autocalves work?
Autoclaves work by creating a sealed, high-pressure environment filled with hot steam. That steam penetrates properly prepared instruments and helps sterilise them more effectively than surface cleaning alone.
Tools should be cleaned first, packed where needed, and run through the correct cycle for the equipment and autoclave model.
How hot do autoclaves get?
Autoclave temperatures can vary depending on the cycle and model, but they typically reach very high sterilising temperatures, between 121°C and 134°C, designed to destroy microorganisms with repeated pressure.
Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance for settings, cycle times, and load types, because guessing isn’t the vibe when sterilisation is involved.
How to autoclave tattoo equipment
To autoclave tattoo equipment, start by cleaning instruments thoroughly to remove visible residue, then dry, package, and load them correctly.
Run the autoclave cycle, check any indicators or print records, and store sterilised tools properly afterwards. It’s a step-by-step process, but once it’s dialled in, it keeps your studio running safely and professionally.
