✨ The SteriSafe™ Promise: Beyond Standard Cleaning
We believe safety shouldn't be an option. While new jewelry may seem clean, it often contains invisible industrial residues, oils, and metal dust from the manufacturing process. Our SteriSafe™ service ensures that the jewelry you receive isn't just "new"—it's clinically clean and guaranteed sterile, eliminating any risk for your fresh piercing or sensitive skin.
⚙️ Our 5-Step SteriSafe™ Protocol
We meticulously follow this professional-grade process on every piece before it ships.
Step 1: Deep Decontamination
-
Jewelry is immersed in a 10% Glutaraldehyde Solution for a full 24 hours. This powerful disinfectant breaks down stubborn industrial oils and manufacturing residues.
Step 2: Two-Stage Ultrasonic Purification
-
First Bath: Jewelry is placed in an ultrasonic cleaner with distilled water and enzymatic cleaner, agitating for 30 minutes to lift any remaining microscopic particles. (You'd be surprised by the floating debris we remove! )
-
Second Rinse: A follow-up 30-minute cycle in pure distilled water ensures all contaminants and cleaning agents are completely rinsed away.
Step 3: Heat Treatment & Drying
-
The cleaned jewelry, specifically implant-grade titanium, is thoroughly air-dried and then baked at 220°C for 30 minutes. This high-temperature dry heat further eliminates any microbial life and ensures the piece is perfectly dry for sterilization.
Step 4: Individual Sealing
-
This is the most time-consuming step, where care is paramount. Each piece is meticulously placed into a self-sealing sterilization pouch, ensuring it remains sterile until the moment you open it.
Step 5: Final High-Pressure Steam Sterilization
-
The sealed pouches are placed in our precision high-pressure sterilizer for a cycle of 20-30 minutes. This medical-grade process, using saturated steam under pressure, is the final and most critical step, guaranteeing that every organism, including spores, is destroyed.
📦 What You Receive
