Can you sterilize gauze in an autoclave?

Yes, you can sterilize gauze, but it’s important to load it in a way that allows for proper steam penetration. Saturated steam under pressure will decontaminate the material, while vacuum cycles can assist in both penetration and drying. We also recommend pre-vacuum cycles to ensure sterility of porous or difficult-to-penetrate loads such as red bagged waste, gauze, and fabrics.
