Gázsterilizálók
Gázsterilizálók, or gas sterilizers, are medical devices used to eliminate microorganisms from heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive equipment. They achieve sterilization by using a low-temperature gas, most commonly ethylene oxide (EtO) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), in a controlled chamber. This process is crucial for sterilizing items like certain plastics, electronic components, and complex surgical instruments that cannot withstand the high temperatures of autoclaving.
The sterilization cycle typically involves several phases. First, the chamber is prepared, often by evacuating air
Ethylene oxide sterilization is highly effective but requires careful handling due to its flammability and toxicity.
