the right autoclave for your tattoo or piercing studio

For reusable instruments, it is necessary to carry out a validated sterilization process.

A Class B autoclave is the right choice. It fully sterilizes all instruments, including wrapped and complex tools. Using one ensures compliance with guidelines and avoids risks during inspections.

An autoclave must comply with EN 13060 and bear the CE mark. This demonstrates that the device is suitable for medical sterilization and meets European requirements. B-autoclaaf autoclaves meet these standards.

All reusable instruments that come into contact with skin or blood—such as forceps, clamps, piercing kits, and other metal tools. Needles are always for single use and are not placed in the autoclave.

An autoclave sterilizes using high-pressure steam. The machine first removes the air, after which steam penetrates deep into the instruments. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi are completely destroyed. The process runs automatically.

Yes, if you sterilize them in packaging. With sterilization pouches, instruments remain sterile after the cycle until you use them. This is convenient if you want to work ahead.

Autoclaves start at €1,499. The price depends on capacity, features, and ease of use. For professional use, choose a Class B autoclave with sufficient capacity.

An autoclave requires regular maintenance to ensure it continues to operate safely and reliably.

• Daily: check the water level and clean the door seal
• Weekly: run a cleaning cycle and check the chamber
• Periodically: have the autoclave serviced by a specialist at least once a year

Regular maintenance ensures that your autoclave continues to meet the applicable guidelines and helps prevent malfunctions or errors in the sterilization process.
