Sterilization Indicators – Tools that Ensure Proper Working Conditions

Sterilization is an essential process in numerous fields, from medicine and dentistry to the food industry and even pharmaceuticals. Equipment and instruments must be completely sterile to prevent infections and maintain a safe environment. In this context, professional sterilization products, including chemical sterilization indicators, play a very important role.

Sterilization indicators are devices or substances used to monitor and validate the efficiency of the sterilization process. They are designed to confirm that objects placed in sterilization pouches and rolls have been correctly exposed to the necessary conditions to ensure a complete process. There are several types of indicators, generally classified into three categories: physical, chemical, and biological.

Biological Sterilization Indicators – Specifically Designed to Display Process Efficiency and Safety

Physical indicators are parameters directly monitored by the sterilization device, such as temperature, pressure, and time. Chemical indicators change when exposed to certain sterilization conditions. For example, sterilization paper changes color after exposure to high-temperature steam. Chemical indicators are used to demonstrate that individual packages have been exposed to the sterilization process.

Biological sterilization indicators are considered the safest. After exposure to the sterilization process, biological indicators are incubated to verify if pathogens have been destroyed.
