Autoclaving glass or plastic inserts with attached plastic springs is not recommended. While the glass can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°F, the polyetheylene spring will become deformed, may crack and will lose its functionality.

You can sterilize these inserts through ethylene oxide gas sterilization.
