The Future of Sterilization

The need to improve sterilization methods and machinery has created ongoing research in order to produce better and more complete sterilization performance. Steve Beno thinks the new Ozone Sterilizer by TSO3 could replace ethylene oxide and hydrogen-perioxide units in the near future. Raef Warzynski feels that Ozone may also be the answer to Prion sterilization and be a low cost alternative to Plasma and ETO sterilization. He feels that it still needs to be a proven method but it does have potential. The challenge, however, in developing Prion deactivation technologies is that there is no appropriate standard for a company to measure the effectiveness of sterilization technique against Prions. Whatever the challenges, the sterilization equipment industry is alive and well and has evolved over the years - driven by consumer demand and competition in the marketplace. As medical devices become more intricate, and regulatory and sterilization standards become more demanding, sterilizer manufacturers and companies are working to develop and maintain advanced systems and features to meet the challenges.
