Autoclave

Category: art

A machine that uses high-pressure steam to sterilize reusable metal instruments.

In professional studios, the autoclave is the gold standard for sterilization. It reaches temperatures high enough to kill all bacteria, viruses, and spores. Most modern studios have shifted toward disposable items, but autoclaves remain essential for reusable tools.

Common Examples

• All reusable metal grips are processed through the autoclave for each cycle to ensure maximum safety for our clients.
• A monthly spore test must be conducted on the autoclave to certify that it is still achieving the required sterilization heat levels.
