VAPOR LINE® Steam Sterilization Integrator Type 5 chemical indicator

The VAPOR LINE® Steam Sterilization Integrator is a Type 5 chemical indicator used by professional tattoo artists to verify that autoclave sterilization cycles meet required health department standards. It monitors all critical steam sterilization parameters—time, temperature, and steam exposure—inside each load.

Placed inside sterilization pouches or trays with reusable tattoo tools, the integrator provides immediate visual confirmation after each autoclave cycle. A clear PASS / FAIL moving ink indicator makes results easy to interpret and document for inspections.
