How does a steam-pressure autoclave work?
A steam-pressure autoclave works by using high pressure and temperature steam to eliminate micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores.
Heating and saturating the steam
The process begins by heating water, which is then transformed into steam. This steam becomes saturated, meaning that it contains the maximum amount of water molecules, which is crucial to the effectiveness of the sterilisation process.
Pressure
Steam is introduced into the autoclave chamber where there is high pressure, sometimes several atmospheres. The increased pressure allows the steam to penetrate the various materials and ensures an even distribution of sterilising conditions.
Temperature
The temperature of the steam also plays a key role in the process. Steam autoclaves maintain a temperature of up to approximately 134°C, which is required to rapidly destroy virtually all forms of micro-organisms.
Time
The final key factor is time. Materials undergoing the sterilisation process remain in the autoclave chamber for a sufficiently long time to ensure complete destruction of microorganisms. The length of the process depends on the type of materials, the machine and the sterilisation requirements.

Why is a steam-pressure autoclave indispensable?
The properties of steam, combined with high pressure and temperature, make the steam-pressure autoclave an extremely effective sterilisation tool. It eliminates not only bacteria, but also viruses and fungi. It is worth noting that following proper sterilisation procedures is key to ensuring patient safety and preventing cross-infection. The steam-pressure autoclave is not only a tool, but also a guarantee of safety in medical and cosmetic environments.
