La Asociación de Perforadores Profesionales is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of vital health and safety information about body piercing to piercers, profesionales de la salud, legisladores, y el público en general. Socially and legislatively, body piercing is situated within the greater body modification community. As a result, we recognize that our role extends beyond the discipline of body piercing. Our position on body art practices such as tattooing, cosmetic tattooing, branding, scarification, suspension, and other forms of body modification is as follows:

Effects of Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs) on Steam Sterilisation Processes

“A study conducted by Prof. von Eiff of University of Münster in hospitals in North Rhine Westphalia and Lower Saxony revealed that, in particular, 40% of hollow instruments released for use were not sterile (4). One reason for such problems is that the classic biological and/or well-integrated chemical indicators can attest to the sterility of supplies only at those locations at which they are positioned. But in general these indicators cannot be placed at those sites within the instrument which are most difficult to access, hence the established practice of using such indicators is not suitable for providing insights into the sterility of lumened devices.”

My articles at http://jewelry.piercing.org/ and http://brnskll.com/shares/titanium-standards-why-not-g23/ explain that the two most effective Titanium standards are alloyed ASTM F136 and pure ASTM F67, the most common being the former as it is stronger, harder and easier to polish. Both are used for permanent surgical implants.

Sharpies para el etiquetado

“Mayoría Sharpies no han sido validadas para uso industrial o para su uso en las condiciones de esterilización. Hay un par de marcadores Sharpie que se ajustan a la norma ASTM D4236 estándar lo que significa que el producto ha sido evaluado por un Toxicólogo para la toxicidad aguda y crónica y la hoja de datos de seguridad (SDS) identifica ingredientes como presentar ningún peligro de salud crónica, junto con las instrucciones de uso seguro. Las plumas que llevan el sello de la AP con la notación “se ajusta a ASTM D4236″ (véase a la derecha) son los marcadores que se pueden utilizar para el etiquetado de los paquetes.”
