Medical Device Sterilization.
The healthcare industry depends on the proper sterilization of medical devices to keep patients safe from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses that lead to infection and other adverse patient outcomes. Medical device sterilization is critical to patient care, and Ethylene Oxide is one of the leading methods for medical device sterilization worldwide.

Ethylene Oxide for Medical Device Sterlization
Ethylene Oxide is one of the only methods that can be used for the sterilization of almost all medical devices including plastics, elastomers, battery-containing devices, and other sensitive materials. The same cannot be said for other technologies, such as heat sterilization, radiation or peroxide. Many of the devices that undergo Ethylene Oxide sterilization are essential for saving lives.
Ethylene Oxide penetrates throughout complex medical devices, able to diffuse through truckload quantities of palletized product, destroying pathogens and sterilizing devices. Along with its broad materials compatibility, Ethylene Oxide sterilization is capable of processing large volumes while providing the levels of efficacy needed for patient safety.
