How do you sterilize piercing equipment?

Answer 1

There are several steps that must be done in order to properly sterilize piercing equipment. The most important of these steps in called Autoclave Sterilization. This involves the use of an autoclave, a device designed solely for the purpose of sterilizing surgical equipment. By the use of high pressure steam in an enclosed chamber for a specific amount of time, the steam under pressure gets into the fine fissures of the instruments and kills the bacterial, microbial life and spores existing on the instrument.

Simply soaking equipment in a disinfecting solution will not sterilize the instrument to a level that could be considered safe. Only the high temperature and pressure of an autoclave can achieve that level. So for the misinformed folks who think holding it over a flame or soaking it in alcohol or chanting mystic phrases at it will sterilize the equipment, sorry your wrong.
