Why are medical devices often sterilized with ethylene oxide?
2023-02-16
1. Ethylene oxide sterilization can sterilize some items that are not resistant to high temperature or humidity.
2. Ethylene oxide has very strong penetrability, even if the structure of the object is very complicated, it can be sterilized in places that are not so transparent. For example, some medical catheters are not only very thin but also very long. Other sterilization methods cannot achieve the effect of completely killing bacteria in the catheter. Only the use of ethylene oxide sterilization can achieve the desired effect.
3. Ethylene oxide is recognized as a sterilizing agent with a very good bactericidal effect. Almost all microorganisms can be killed by ethylene oxide.
4. Ethylene oxide sterilization has minimal damage to the outer packaging of the items to be sterilized. Ethylene oxide sterilization works through the process of alkylation rather than oxidation, so damage to items is minimal. Especially for some precision instruments that are not very heat-resistant, it has a very good bactericidal effect.
5. What is the ethylene oxide sterilization process for medical devices? The sterilization time of ethylene oxide is relatively long, and it can be wrapped with different materials. Both storage and transportation are very convenient to prevent cross-contamination.
Ethylene oxide sterilization ensures the quality of disposable sterile medical devices. According to multiple clinical research surveys, the sterilization effect of Ethylene Oxide Scrubber Factory is the best among other sterilizers, and it has an irreplaceable role in medical device packaging. effect.

Waste gas treatment or Scrubber
The waste gas mainly comes from the ethylene oxide gas produced by the sterilization process and aeration chamber. We offer two different ways to reduce the waste EO gas concentration(PPM) to achieve the limited requirement you need--scrubber or the catalyst using electricity. Two different ways to reduce the PPM of the EO waste gas.
