Medical autoclaves use pressurized steam to kill bacteria

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Merely boiling surgical tools does not kill all the terrifying superbugs clinging to them. Autoclaves trap water and heat it under immense physical pressure, forcing the steam to reach temperatures way beyond normal boiling points. This highly pressurized, scorching vapor aggressively penetrates the microscopic crevices of the metal, physically exploding bacterial cells until the tools are pristine.
