An autoclave serves as a universal tool for achieving sterility through pressurized steam. Its design allows it to function like a sophisticated pressure cooker, generating saturated steam at high temperatures. Operating at common parameters of 121°C and 15-30 psi, the moist heat it delivers coagulates the proteins of microorganisms, rendering them non-viable. A complete sterilization cycle is systematic: conditioning to remove air, exposure to maintain lethal conditions, and exhaust to conclude the process, often with added drying. Its applications are critical in diverse settings. Hospitals use it for surgical instrument trays.

Dental offices use it for handpieces and mirrors. Laboratories depend on it for sterilizing glassware, preparing media, and treating biohazardous waste. Furthermore, its principles are applied in industry for processes like vulcanization. The autoclave is the preferred method due to its comprehensive microbial kill. It is effective against all pathogen classes, including the highly resistant endospores of bacteria like Bacillus and Clostridium.

Additionally, steam possesses excellent penetration capabilities, allowing it to sterilize the interior of wrapped packs and complex devices, providing a level of assurance that is difficult to achieve with dry heat or chemical methods.
