Problem
Traditional sterilization methods such as steam autoclaving, ethylene oxide, and gamma irradiation can be time‑consuming, require high temperatures or toxic chemicals, and may damage heat‑sensitive or delicate medical equipment.
Solution
Aurora Sterilisation offers a cold plasma sterilization system that uses low‑temperature, non‑thermal plasma to inactivate microorganisms on a wide range of medical devices. The technology generates reactive species that achieve high-level disinfection without heat, moisture, or hazardous residues, preserving the integrity and functionality of sensitive instruments. The process is rapid, typically completing cycles in minutes, and can be integrated into existing cleanroom workflows. Results are validated through standard microbiological testing, providing compliance with regulatory sterilization standards.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, surgical centers, and medical device manufacturers that require rapid, residue‑free sterilization for heat‑sensitive or complex instruments.
