autoclave tapes

Autoclave tapes are specialized adhesive tapes used to indicate whether items have been properly sterilized in an autoclave, a machine that uses steam under pressure to kill bacteria and other pathogens. The tape has printed patterns that change color when exposed to the high temperature and pressure inside the autoclave, signaling that the sterilization process has occurred. This provides a visual confirmation for healthcare professionals and laboratories, ensuring equipment and materials are safe for use. Autoclave tapes are essential in maintaining hygiene standards in medical and laboratory settings.
