Sterilization in medical device manufacturing
Sterilization is a critical process in the production of medical devices, ensuring that all products are free from harmful microorganisms and meet the highest standards for safety and quality.
We offer a wide range of sterilization methods carefully tailored to the specific requirements and material properties of your products. The primary methods we provide, in collaboration with leading companies in the industry, include Gamma Sterilization, Electron Beam Sterilization (E-Beam), and Ethylene Oxide Sterilization (EO).
Gamma sterilization:
This method uses high-energy gamma rays, which penetrate deep into materials to effectively eliminate microorganisms. Gamma sterilization is particularly suitable for materials like plastics, glass, and metals that are resistant to radiation. It ensures uniform and reliable sterilization without leaving residues or altering the physical properties of the products. This method is ideal for large-scale productions and offers high flexibility in application.
E-Beam sterilization (Electron Beam):
E-Beam sterilization employs accelerated electrons to sterilize products. It is a particularly fast method and is excellent for temperature-sensitive materials, as it minimally heats the products. The electron beam has a shallower penetration depth than gamma rays, making this method suitable for thin materials and flat products.
EO sterilization (Ethylene Oxide):
EO sterilization uses ethylene oxide gas to thoroughly sterilize even complex and delicate products. This process is particularly suitable for products that could be damaged by heat or radiation, such as certain plastics or electronic components. EO sterilization requires careful post-treatment to ensure that no gas residues remain on the products. It is a proven method that provides complete sterility at low temperatures.
Collaboration with leading partners:
Our sterilization processes are carried out in close collaboration with reputable, market-leading companies specializing in these technologies. These partnerships allow us to offer the best possible sterilization solution for your specific products. Through this collaboration, we ensure that sterilization meets current international standards and regulatory requirements, keeping your products safe and effective.
