Patients worldwide place immense trust in healthcare teams to ensure safety during surgery. A critical part of that trust is the assurance that medical instruments are free from harmful pathogens, while also ensuring the safety of staff in healthcare environments. With over 310 million major surgeries conducted globally each year, sterilization plays a pivotal role in preventing complications, infections, and deaths.1 

The Power of Plasma for Effective Low-Temperature Sterilization white paper offers vital insights into the sterilization technologies healthcare facilities rely on, showcasing the benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide Gas Plasma (HPGP) over Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) without plasma technology.

Access the White Paper for These Essential Learnings:

  • Explore how HPGP technology significantly enhances the Margin of Safety by inactivating a broader spectrum of microorganisms, including resistant strains and spores.
  • Understand the financial and patient risks tied to surgical site infections (SSIs) and how superior sterilization can help mitigate these risks.
  • Learn the comparative advantages of HPGP vs. VHP, including safety, material compatibility, and environmental impact
  • Discover how HPGP supports sustainability by minimizing residual hydrogen peroxide exposure and reducing environmental harm.

It’s time to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in your sterile processing practices. The stakes are too high not to!
