Problem
Many medical devices are sensitive to heat and moisture, making traditional steam or autoclave sterilization methods unsuitable. Existing low-temperature sterilization techniques often rely on toxic chemicals like ethylene oxide, posing risks to healthcare workers and the environment.
Solution
SteriLux offers a low-temperature sterilization system that uses ozone generated from ambient air via 172 nm V-UV lamps. This chemical-free process effectively destroys microorganisms on heat- and moisture-sensitive medical devices without leaving toxic residues. The system monitors parameters to ensure process efficiency and complete sterilization, converting ozone back into oxygen at the end of the cycle for safe release. SteriLux provides a safe, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative to traditional and chemical sterilization methods, preserving the lifespan of delicate instruments.
Target Audience
SteriLux targets medical practices, veterinary clinics, and research labs that require low-temperature sterilization of heat- and moisture-sensitive medical devices.
