Tungsten needles can be sterilized for medical applications. Tungsten is a non-toxic and biocompatible material, which means that it does not react with biological tissues or cause harm to living cells. As a result, tungsten needles are commonly used in medical and surgical procedures, such as acupuncture, biopsy, and drug delivery.
To ensure that tungsten needles are safe and sterile for medical use, they are typically sterilized using techniques such as autoclaving, ethylene oxide gas sterilization, or gamma irradiation. These methods effectively eliminate microorganisms and reduce the risk of infection or contamination during medical procedures.
