Surgical Equipment Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer
This EO sterilizer enables low-temperature sterilization of surgical equipment with polymers, cables, and electronics that are not steam compatible. The process supports terminal sterilization in packaging, maintaining sterility from CSSD to operating rooms while protecting delicate materials and assemblies.
Working Principle and Process Flow for Surgical Instruments
Cleaned and dried items are sealed in EO-compatible packs. The chamber regulates humidity and temperature, then exposes loads to EO gas to inactivate resistant microbes. A measured aeration sequence removes residuals to acceptable levels, ensuring devices are ready for patient care.
Types of EO Sterilizers for Surgical Equipment
- Hospital CSSD EO Sterilizers with auto-documentation and presets.
- Mid-to-Large EO Systems for high instrument turnover.
- Specialty EO Units for electronics-bearing surgical tools.
- Cartridge EO Chambers for controlled, small batch cycles.
Key Features and Specifications
- Validated Cycles with biological indicator compatibility.
- Material-Safe Processing for plastics, optics, and adhesives.
- Gas Monitoring, interlocks, and alarms for operator safety.
- Packaging Compatibility for terminal sterilization workflows.
Applications in Surgery
- Cautery pencils, camera cables, power tool components, and sensors.
