PlasmaBiotics develops medical hygiene devices that accelerate endoscope drying and enable active, long‑term storage using plasma technology. Its flagship products include the ultra‑fast PlasmaTYPHOON dryer, the single‑use PlasmaBAG for zero‑energy storage up to 31 days, and the AquaTYPHOON pre‑cleaning system, all designed to reduce reprocessing time and lower bacterial contamination risk.

Problem
Endoscopes require thorough drying and proper storage after reprocessing to prevent bacterial contamination, but conventional methods are time‑consuming and may not ensure long‑term sterility, leading to infection risk and workflow delays in healthcare facilities.
Solution
PlasmaBiotics offers a suite of automated drying and storage solutions that integrate with existing endoscope reprocessing protocols. The PlasmaTYPHOON unit rapidly dries endoscope channels using plasma‑enhanced technology, significantly shortening the reprocessing cycle. The single‑use PlasmaBAG (including the ECO variant) provides active, zero‑energy storage that maintains scopes in a ready‑to‑use state for up to 31 days without capacity limits. Additionally, the AquaTYPHOON pre‑cleaning system targets non‑brushable channels, improving cleaning efficacy before drying. Together, these products reduce cross‑contamination risk, streamline workflow, and extend the usable life of reprocessed endoscopes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and endoscopy clinics that perform high volumes of gastrointestinal and bronchoscopic procedures.
