Aob08 Beauty, Hair & Holistic department Methods of sterilisation in the salon Autoclave Most effective method of sterilisation The very high temperatures reached destroy spores Steam is produced from a water reservoir in the autoclave and contained under pressure at 121 134 C Takes at least 15-20 minutes to complete Only suitable for stainless steel and glass equipment. Always check before placing items in the autoclave that they can withstand the heat Always use distilled water with the autoclave Metal objects placed in the sterilising unit should always be of a good quality stainless steel to avoid rusting Glass Bead sterilisation Small electrically heated unit containing glass beads Glass beads transfer heat to objects placed in contact with them The temperature needs to be constant for 30-60 minutes before use Only suitable for small items eg tweezers, cuticle knife or scissors Any additions to the steriliser during a cycle lowers the temperature and timing has to start again Chemical sterilisation Concentrated liquid chemicals diluted for use These methods can disinfect or sterilise depending on strength of chemicals solution and exposure time Tools that cannot be sterilised by heat are suitable for chemical sterilisation Aob08 Beauty, Hair & Holistic department Ultra-Violet sterilisation Can sometimes be referred to as sanitisers, limited effectiveness and cannot be relied on for sterilisation UV rays only sterilise the surface of the equipment Only suitable for tools such as cuticle knives Items must be turned halfway through the process Recommended timing is 15 minutes per side Mostly recommended for storing sterilised tools due to lack of full exposure of tools to the uv light UV is strongest directly under light source and weaker at the front, shaded areas of implements eg scissor blades are not exposed Disinfectants & Antiseptics If an object cannot be sterilised it should be placed in a chemical disinfectant solution A disinfectant destroys some but not all micro-organisms Antiseptics prevent multiplication of micro-organisms Limited action as they do not kill mico-organsims Milder than disinfectants – suitable for use on the skin Sterilisation procedure Select appropriate method for the object. Clean the object in warm water and detergent to remove dirt/grease which may prevent effectiveness of sterilisation Dry thoroughly with clean, disposable paper towels Sterilise object, allow sufficient time to be effective Place tools that have been sterilised into a clean, covered container of jar of surgical spirit Aob08
