Technology

Sterilizers for medical devices that use cold plasma as the sole sterilizing agent. Aurora develops and sells a medical sterilizer called PlasSter. It is the world's first sterilizer to successfully use gas plasma to: • eliminate pathogens from a medical device • and package the medical device so that it remains sterile until it reaches the operating room.

Applications

Aurora plasma sterilization meets the needs of medical device manufacturers who require low-temperature sterilization that does not damage materials. It is also used by healthcare facilities for the sterilization of reusable devices.

Benefits

Aurora plasma is the most energy-efficient and cleanest process. Aurora oxygen plasma is the first sterilizing agent that poses no danger to human health or the environment and can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet.

Maturity

Industrialization in progress
