Ethylene oxide sterilization<\/a>: a 100% reliable technique<\/h2>\n

Ethylene oxide (also called EO gas<\/strong> or ETO) is an odorless and colorless gas that has the unique property of damaging the DNA of microorganisms such as bacteria and mold. In this way, it prevents them from reproducing. It is thus widely used by health sector professionals to sterilize products.<\/p>\n

The ETO treatment<\/strong> is performed under vacuum at low temperatures, within sealed chambers where products are placed in their final packaging, which must be permeable to air.<\/p>\n

The gas will penetrate the different layers of packaging and spread into the smallest folds of the products, sterilizing all accessible surfaces with perfect reliability.<\/p>\n

The handling of products is broken down into three immutable steps: preconditioning, sterilization, and degassing.<\/p>\n

During preconditioning, products are preheated and humidified to ensure a uniform treatment. Degassing, on the other hand, is carried out in an aeration cell. It eliminates any residues by performing a series of vacuum and rinsing cycles.<\/p>\n

The gas concentration, temperature, humidity, and exposure time are carefully calculated before treatment, based on the density and composition of the products.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column bg_image=”15460″ column_center=”true” width=”1\/3″]

Advantages and Scope of EO Sterilization<\/h2>\n

The ethylene oxide treatment<\/strong> has the advantage of being able to treat a wide range of products that are incompatible with steam sterilization or ionizing radiation due to the risk of deformation or alteration that exists for certain plastics.<\/p>\n

Indeed, gas sterilization<\/strong> takes place at temperatures between 30 and 60\u00b0C: a low temperature that helps avoid such issues.<\/p>\n

With strong absorption and propagation capabilities, it is compatible with a wide variety of plastic resins, as well as electronic components.<\/p>\n

Its scope of application is therefore particularly broad. This technique is used to sterilize a wide range of pharmaceutical products and medical devices:<\/p>\n
