What is an ETO Sterilizer?
An ETO sterilizer uses ethylene oxide gas to eliminate microorganisms from materials at low temperatures.
The process involves:
✔ Gas exposure phase
✔ Controlled temperature and humidity
✔ Penetration into packaging and complex geometries
✔ Aeration to remove residual gas
This makes ETO ideal for:
✔ Heat-sensitive materials
✔ Pre-packaged products
✔ Complex devices
Where ETO Sterilizers Are Used
ETO sterilizers are widely used in specialized applications.
Common Applications:
✔ Hospitals (specific departments)
✔ Medical device manufacturing
✔ Pharmaceutical industry
✔ Surgical kit sterilization
✔ Plastic and polymer-based devices
✔ Electronic medical equipment
They are essential where steam sterilization is not suitable.
