Alcohol can help disinfect medical syringes by reducing the number of microorganisms on their surfaces, but it may not fully sterilize them. Sterilization requires elimination of all forms of microbial life, including spores, which typically requires methods like autoclaving or using specific chemical sterilants. While alcohol can be effective for routine disinfection, it is not sufficient for achieving complete sterilization in critical medical settings.
No. Alcohol does not sterilize, it does kill some bacteria but it takes time to do so.
Catgut is soaked in alcohol to help sterilize the material and prevent infection when used in medical procedures. The alcohol helps to kill any bacteria present on the catgut, reducing the risk of introducing harmful pathogens into the body during surgery or other medical interventions.
In medicine alcohol is used to sterilize, whether it be skin or instruments.
It is important to properly sterilize medical devices before use.

No you can't use rubbing alcohol to sterilize tattoo needles. Rubbing alcohol might disinfect the needles but sterilization for tattoo equipment is usually done with a "Steam Sterilizer (Autoclave)" which removes spores by applying heat and pressure to the equipment.
Put them in boiling water for two minutes. Or use an alcohol wipe.
No, alcohol pads and hand sanitizers that are alcohol based do not work immediately as intended. Alcohol will kill bacteria on the skin however it takes nearly 36 hours to do so.
Its better to just buy clean needles, but you can sterilize them yourself by boiling them in water for 10 minutes and then soaking them in rubbing alcohol for another 20 minutes
