I would like to propose a bit of information about how the inside of the pen machine can get contaminated IF you swap cartridges during a tattoo. If you never remove the original cartridge you first put in the machine until you are finished with the tattoo, than this information does not apply. But that is not how most artists use a cartridge. So here you go… As we know from bloodborne pathogen (BBP) training, tattooing is a medically aseptic procedure that necessitates the usage of standard precautions. According to standard precautions, it is assumed the workstation and any surface or area directly adjacent to the procedure site, is contaminated and harbors BBPs and infectious diseases. So what must we assume happens to a contaminate free surface when it is introduced into a contaminated area like the workstation during a Tattoo? During the tattoo, when you trade out needle cartridges, where do you place the cartridges after they have been removed from the machine? If all the objects on your contaminated workstation during the tattoo are assumed to be contaminated themselves, what must we assume about the exterior surfaces of the needle cartridge, including the upper body and the cartridge stem, once they are are placed on the work station during the tattoo? And what do we do with the cartridges on the workstation when we want to use them again during the tattoo? As you know, BBP training dictates that when a non-contaminated object comes in contact with a contaminated object, the non contaminated object gets contaminated, correct? Also, a rotary pen machine uses a push rod to physically contact and depress the cartridge stem repeatedly to make the needles move in and out of the cartridge, correct? So knowing this, what can we conclusively deduce about the machine’s internal parts and surfaces when they come in contact with a contaminated cartridge? There you have it, it is clear, a contaminated cartridge transfers contaminants to the internal parts of the machine including the machines push rod, and likewise a contaminated machine will contaminate the parts of any new cartridge that get inserted into the machine. Therefore, you absolutely 100% need to disassemble your machine thoroughly enough to fully expose the grip, the pushrod, and the pushrod housing to properly disinfect them after every tattoo session or you could carry over BBP and infectious diseases from your preceding clients to subsequent clients through contact between surfaces of the machine and the cartridge.
Great info, man I appreciate this vedio. I been try to learn how to properly cover my gun, this is the best effective way by far, thanks again I’ll definitely put this to practice, thank you
Hey ! I really liked your video. May i ask you very simple question as Product designer, as i am working on a project ? Does the inner diameter ( inner plastic roll ) of tattoo grip has any usage ( like we can put figure in it for better grip ) ? Or can we reduce it to make this tattoo grip space saving as it comes in pack of 6 or 24 etc. I would be very thankful if you reply according to your experience. TIA!
Isn't better just a plastic bag that just cover the all stuff with some grip tape on the top ..doesn't look cool... but works for me easy to handle it with one hand...
It is bulllshit the ink and body fluids can pass through the rubber membrane of a needle cartridge. Seal the opening of needle cartridge not were the needles protrude and add liquid. Stand it upright over night and see what happens.
A good idea if you are showing people how to properly wrap a machine…….would be to wear gloves while you are doing it seeing as that’s what you would be doing in prep for a client.
Your right but this video is showing you how to wrap a machine it's not about cross-contamination or cleanliness. Just how to wrap a pen-style machine the easy way
@@jasongriffiths5651 in the first sentence you say “this video is all about cross contamination”!!! It was just an observation considering there is no situation in which you would be wrapping a machine without gloves on so as a training aid it would make sense to wear gloves. Just saying!
chemical sterilant may not convey the same sterility assurance as other sterilization methods. One of the differences between thermal and liquid chemical processes for sterilization of devices is the accessibility of microorganisms to the sterilant.((( >>>Heat can penetrate barriers, such as biofilm, tissue, and blood, to attain organism kill, whereas liquids cannot adequately penetrate these barriers.
Omg that first one you showed scared me man. I was like that was so wrong because there’s basically no barrier after the needle loll

So hey will the ink still get into the tube through the tip or is that enclosed behind the needle?
Safety membrane keeps going no blood for m going up the tube

I love that bishop came out with the disposables its awesome
What is the blue stuff that you said you should get? Is it called barrier film?
Isn't better just a plastic bag that just cover the all stuff with some grip tape on the top ..doesn't look cool... but works for me easy to handle it with one hand...
thanks bro!
Great.
Watch the video of Art someting, his way is much faster en better
