“Rising Adoption of Low-Temperature and Advanced Sterilization Technologies”
- One prominent trend in the global medical device sterilization market is the increasing adoption of low-temperature and advanced sterilization technologies
- These methods, including hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP), and peracetic acid-based systems, are gaining traction due to their compatibility with heat-sensitive and complex medical instruments
- For instance, low-temperature sterilization enables the effective sterilization of delicate instruments such as endoscopes, robotic surgical tools, and plastic-based devices that cannot withstand traditional high-temperature methods such as autoclaving
- Automation and smart monitoring systems are being integrated into sterilization units, allowing for real-time data tracking, enhanced safety, and regulatory compliance
- This trend is transforming infection control practices in healthcare facilities, supporting improved operational efficiency, better equipment longevity, and increased safety for both patients and healthcare providers
