This is use just to hold your skin. Pliers I use this just to hold the jewelry it doesn’t even come in contact with the patient and nonetheless everything is sealed and sterilized. Once they have been use they are put in here, it’s called a cold sterilizer. It is basically a strong disinfectant. This is our sterilization room and this are clean side instruments once they have been use they are collected in here, this is the dirty side the disinfectant is rinsed-off. Once they are dry they are package in sterilization, pouches and then we put them in this an autoclave and this kills all bacteria. Host: I see.
