From the March 2012 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine


Michael Cain, senior product marketing manager of N.A. Sterilization for Getinge USA—a sterilizer manufacture—is certain that although low-temperature sterilizers are on the rise, their steam counterparts are here to stay. “The steam sterilization segment looks stable for years to come, despite increases in low-temperature processes,” he says.

According to Crabtree, steam sterilizers are not expected to introduce any new groundbreaking technology in the future. “It’s a pretty mature market in a lot of ways, the technology and the science behind steam sterilization hasn’t changed a great deal, and there’s not too many ‘gee-whiz’ features you can add to a steam sterilizer these days,” he says. “Like in lights, you can go from halogen to LED, which is a big change. You’re not going find that sort of change when you’re talking about sterilization.”
