Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization

Hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization is a process used to thoroughly disinfect medical tools. It involves exposing instruments to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, which penetrates surfaces to kill bacteria, viruses, and spores. Then, a low-temperature plasma—a state of ionized gas—activates the hydrogen peroxide, enhancing its sterilizing power without damaging delicate equipment. This method is efficient, quick, and safe, often used for sensitive instruments that can't withstand high heat or moisture. It provides a reliable way to ensure medical tools are sterile, reducing infection risk.
