Sterilization
- Pressure Cooker Verses Autoclave.
Like everything in this world the big Guys make the rules. Autoclaves are expensive for small operators. So here is what you can do. . Contact your local hospital they for a small fee will Autoclave your tools every day. They pick up from Doctors every day so you can usually get them to pick up from you too. If not then speak with your Doctor he will probably be glad to send your tools in with his. He will most likely also be glad to dispose of your sharps eg body piercing/tattoo needles. You could also ask your local Dentist -
Pressure Cooker For Safe Sterilization
- I strongly believe that the pressure cooker is a reliable method of Sterilization. You should contact the experts at www.pressurecooker.com.au in Perth to discuss your needs. Usually a lid that sits inside the pressure cooker is the safest. the cooker should be made of stainless steel and be large enough to sit your largest tool inside without touching the sides when in an open position. You do not need to bag your tools. See Sterilization on U-Glamour Distance Learning Academe site http://www.uglamour.com
