TSO3 has completed sterile efficacy validation for multiple heavy-duty battery-powered orthopaedic instrument sets in a single sterilization cycle of the STERIZONE® VP4 Sterilizer.
STERIZONE VP4 is a low-temperature sterilization system that utilizes vaporized hydrogen peroxide and ozone to achieve terminal sterilization of heat- and moisture-sensitive medical devices.
While instrument sets are often split into multiple steam cycles or a combination of traditional steam and low-temperature sterilization systems, STERIZONE VP4 has been validated to process whole instrument sets in a single cycle—allowing the instruments to travel within a hospital and arrive sterile at the operating room, together.
