Bioflex Push-fit Segment Ring in 1.2mm gauge. Both sides of the end of the ring are hollow to allow an insert to hold the ring together. Soft, flexible and subtle, these are great as retainers to make a piercing more discrete and also as a gentle alternative to segment rings made from other materials. Alternatives to these would be segment rings with the removable insert or hinged segment rings. Both are available in a wide range of sizes and metal types. There are 2 international standards for autoclaving Bioflex: 1. Temperature 121 Degrees Celsius at pressure 15 pounds per square inch for 15 minutes. 2. Temperature 134 Degrees Celsius at pressure 32 pounds per square inch for 3 minutes. Exceeding this can result in deformation. NB: You cannot sterilise Bioflex in a dry heat autoclave. You need a steam sterilisation process with water.
