The basic science is that living organisms, including bacteria, cannot survive in elevated temperatures. Medical instruments are wrapped in cloth and placed in an autoclave, which heats the instruments to about 134 degrees C (272 degrees F) for about 15 minutes. Sometimes the unit is pressurized.
Cold sterilization, where the instruments are put in a chemical solution, and it takes around 12 hours for them to become sterilized. Heated sterilization, which is done in an autoclave, under high heat and high pressure. It only takes a few minutes for the instruments to be sterilized.

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.
