Briefly analyze several advantages of ethylene oxide sterilization
font size：littlemiddleBig
According to professionals, in the sterilization technology of medical equipment and sanitary products, the application of ethylene oxide gas sterilization is relatively extensive, and the technology is mature. As early as the 1960s, advanced countries in the world have applied ethylene oxide gas sterilization technology to medical, health, industrial, agricultural and environmental sanitation and other fields. In the early 1990s, my country also began to widely use these fields.
The specific advantages of ethylene oxide sterilization are as follows:
1. It can be used for sterilization of items that are not resistant to high temperature and moisture.
2. Ethylene oxide is considered to be a chemical sterilant with the best sterilization effect, which can kill all microorganisms including bacterial spores.
3. It has strong penetrability and can be used for sterilization of various difficult-to-penetrate parts: for example, some thin and long catheters are difficult to achieve sterilization effect by other low-temperature sterilization methods.
4. Small damage to items, because EO uses the principle of alkylation instead of oxidation to kill microorganisms, so the damage to items is very small, and it has a very wide range of uses for sterilization of heat-labile precision instruments.
5. When sterilizing, it can be wrapped with various wrapping materials, which is convenient for storage and transportation. It can be used after opening the package to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
6. There are standard chemical and biological monitoring methods, so that the quality of sterilization can be effectively controlled, and the packages that fail to be sterilized can be found in time.
