LTE SCIENTIFIC has introduced a range of low temperature sterilisation products to aid the reprocessing of heat-sensitive medical devices and surgical instruments, including endoscopes, lumened/non-lumened instruments and surgical robotic instruments
The new products include the Matachana 50HPO and Matachana 130HPO low temperature hydrogen peroxide and plasma sterilisers, and the BluKat sterilising solution container for 130HPO and 50HPO sterilisers. The Matachana BluKat cartridges have an extended shelf life of 18 months, or 30 days once in use, and just one cartridge can provide enough sterilant for up to 30 cycles.
Designed to ensure user safety, the sterilisers use vapourised hydrogen peroxide – a complementary method to steam sterilisation. They are claimed to be environmentally efficient in terms of energy usage and reduced utility consumption, as well as offering time savings.
John Lees, managing director at LTE Scientific, said: “As specialists in the areas of decontamination for healthcare central sterilisation and endoscopy departments, we have recognised the growing need for effective low temperature sterilisation, and adding the Matachana HPO range to our portfolio means that we can now provide a fully integrated infection control solution for the medical industry
