Who We Are
60 years of medical device innovation
Andersen Products was founded in 1958 by Dr. H.W. Andersen. As a young surgeon at Bellevue hospital in New York, Dr. Andersen developed a line of nasogastric tubes and wound drains that dramatically improved upon then current designs. The company’s first manufacturing operation was established in Oyster Bay, New York in 1963. The need to sterilize these products led to the creation of a breakthrough method of ethylene oxide (EO or EtO) sterilization utilizing a flexible sterilization chamber. High efficiency EO sterilizers employing flexible chamber technology (EO – FCT) are now the company’s core business. Andersen Sterilizers is headquartered in Haw River, North Carolina. We operate a UK office in Essex, and partner with a select group of distributors around the world.

Why ethylene oxide (EO/EtO) sterilization?
Ethylene oxide is the gold standard in sterilization. It offers hospital-level sterility assurance (10⁻⁶) along with
unparalleled gentleness and material compatibility.

Zero emissions
Andersen Sterilizers offers the most efficient gas sterilizers on the market today.

Andersen sterilizers are crafted at our 100+ acre campus in Central NC. Our raw materials and components are almost completely US sourced. We are proud to support a manufacturing community of over fifty suppliers here in North Carolina.
