Autoclaves

 

 

 

For those unfamiliar with this term, the most popular autoclave uses saturated steam under high pressure to achieve sterilizing temperatures required to decontaminate materials and render them sterile.  Many professional tattoo artists use an autoclave to sterilize equipment that is not disposable.

 

An autoclave needs to reach a minimum temperature of 121 degrees Celsius or 250 degrees Fahrenheit and once this temperature is reached a minimum of 30 minutes is required for proper sterilization.  A commercial or bleach solution is used on instruments and supplies that cannot be sterilized using an autoclave.

 

There are many different types, styles and sizes of autoclaves.  Both dry heat as well as steam type although steam are much more common.  Let our information web site help you to find the perfect unit for you at a great price.  Have a look at some of the companies that offer free shipping on their units.
