The Sterilucent® PSD-85 Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizer is a low-temperature vaporized hydrogen peroxide system designed for use in healthcare facilities that may be operating in austere environments, such as combat support hospitals and disaster response sites.
“We are very pleased to have completed the regulatory process and look forward to the opportunity to bring our innovative products to U. S. markets,” says Stephen Loes, chief operating officer of Sterilucent. “The Sterilucent products deliver safe and effective surgical instrument sterilization with reduced operating and logistical costs.
