Rediscover The Cost Saving Benefits of Low-Temperature Gas Sterilization

High-tech medical instruments are costly to replace. Andersen’s ethylene oxide gas sterilization systems don’t deteriorate expensive medical instruments the way other modalities can. Because EO operates at a lower temperature than traditional steam sterilization, EO gas systems sterilize heat-sensitive devices without damaging them. 

“Our systems offer terminal sterility using 90 percent less EO than any other system on the market,” says Steve Brown, corporate account manager. “Our systems are ideal for sterilizing expensive electro-cautery hand pieces, cautery units, light handles and also drapes and gowns.”

Studies show that the instances of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in pets are on the rise. In fact, the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Global Congress in Barcelona recently identified and documented cases of “superbugs” being passed between pets and their healthy owners. 

Andersen’s Anprolene systems are affordable and are easy and inexpensive to install. Many practices experience a full return on investment in a period of just a few months — if not a few weeks. 

“Cost savings is a big deal for a practice’s bottom line,” shares R. Brooks, a sterile processing technician at a veterinary surgical and emergency center in Washington, D.C. “We use electro-cautery which can cost up to $500. With our Andersen system we can re-sterilize our electro-cautery not only quickly, but we then can get about 15 uses out of each unit.”
