Veterinary medicine has come a long way in recent years, and one of the most significant advancements is the development ofĀ minimally invasive veterinary surgery (MIS). This type of surgery involves making small incisions and using specialized tools to perform procedures, resulting in less pain, faster recovery times, and fewer complications. However, these MIS tools typically require low-temperature sterilization to process them for the safety of patients, so it is not possible to sterilize many of these items in a steam autoclave. That’s where gas plasma sterilization from VetOvation comes in.
Gas Plasma Sterilization
Gas plasma sterilization is a highly effective method of sterilizing surgical instruments. It uses aĀ low-temperature plasma to eliminate microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi from instruments. This process is much faster and more effective than traditional sterilization methods such as autoclaving or EtO, which can damage delicate instruments and take a long time to complete.
At VetOvation, we offer gasĀ plasma sterilizersĀ utilizing hydrogen peroxide for veterinary practices. Not only are our systems easy to use, reliable, and affordable, they are also safer than traditional Ethylene Oxide gas sterilizers. All this makes it easy for practices of varying sizes to implement effective sterilization protocols.
Advantages of Gas Plasma Sterilization
Gas plasma sterilization offers several advantages over other sterilization methods. First, it is much faster, with most cycles taking only 45-60 minutes to complete. This means that practices can turn over instruments quickly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing the efficiency ofĀ minimally invasive veterinary surgery.
Second, gas plasma sterilization is gentle on instruments, making it an ideal choice for delicate surgical tools. UnlikeĀ autoclaving, which uses high temperatures and steam to sterilize instruments, gas plasma sterilization uses low-temperature plasma, which is less likely to damage instruments.
Finally, gas plasma sterilization is highly effective at eliminating microorganisms. Studies have shown that gasĀ plasma sterilizersĀ eliminate even the most resistant microorganisms, including spores, which can be difficult to destroy using traditional sterilization methods.
