 Sterilization
procedures
At Sidewayz Tattoo, we use needles only once and all our
ink caps are disposable as are our gloves. We work in
a sterile environment that has moppable floors, glass
work surfaces and we use medical waste disposal for all
our contaminated wipes. We use a 2 stage Sterilization
procedure.
1st Stage: Disinfection
The used stainless steel instruments are immersed in a
chemical sterilization bath in an ultrasonic cleaner for
the required time. This step kills all possible germs/viruses
so that the instruments are safe for us to handle and
clean.
2nd Stage: Sterilization
After cleaning all instruments, they are placed in an
autoclave for the required amount of time at the correct
temperature. These settings are checked weekly with "spore
tests" - Rapid Readout Boilogical Indicator - these
check that all sterilization parameters are met.
