EtO sterilization, a proven process leading to ethylene oxide autoclaves ever more innovative
With more than 50 years of existence, the ethylene oxide sterilization process for medical devices is one of the most used method in the word, thanks to its very good results and efficacy for thermos-sensitive products.
This process has had to evolve during all these years in order to offer a technology more and more efficient, safe and reliable. In addition, the introduction of innovative MD design and materials has led to develop new ways to sterilize, and to adapt the EO sterilization equipment to those new demanding products.
That’s the reason why RSD proposes tailor-made large sterilizers and turnkey EtO solutions with advanced technology including a high level of safety for its industrial autoclave design in order to meet any demanding requirement from the medical device manufacturers.
