Of these devices, 15 are in active development, while the remaining 14 are in an inactive stage of development. There are 12 products in the early stages of development, and the remaining three are in the late stages of development.

Hospital Supplies are the basic commodities required in the hospital to effectively examine, diagnose, and treat the disease or injury of patients. Sterilization equipment is used to kill all the microbes (sterilization) from objects, and is essential equipment to support normal hospital processes, such as sterilization of surgical instruments, laboratory reagents and so forth. Based on its application, sterilization is of three types: physical, chemical and ultraviolet. Physical sterilizers use various forms of heat to sterilize objects, including steam or flame. Physical sterilizers include autoclaves and other high temperature sterilizers. This segment covers steam sterilizers and hot air ovens (dry heat). Chemical sterilizers are used for equipment that is sensitive to high temperatures, susceptible to corrosion (metal alloys) and for devices that might be damaged by irradiation (rubbers and plastics may become brittle after irradiation). The Chemical Sterilizers segment covers ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide and other chemical sterilizers. Chemical Sterilizers are used in the healthcare to chemically treat surgical instruments and medical supplies to ensure infectious agents are not transmitted to patients. Ultraviolet sterilizers use ultraviolet (UV) rays for sterilization. High-efficiency UV lamp systems are used for in-duct, coil mount and stand-alone systems to destroy airborne and surface bio-contaminants.

Innovations in the medical devices sector are linked to the development of new approaches, processes, or technologies for treating, diagnosing, and managing disease in response to demand from healthcare for better patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

Based on an analysis of GlobalData’s Medical Intelligence Center pipeline product database, these actively developed Sterilization Equipment pipeline devices are all expected to be approved within the next ten years.

Currently, private organizations, public entities and institutions are working on the development of Sterilization Equipment devices. Overall, most of these Sterilization Equipment pipeline devices are being developed by private entities.

Key players involved in the active development of Sterilization Equipment include Advanced Cooling Technologies, Advanced Sterilization Products Services, B.B.R. Medical Innovations, Brighton Development, Case Western Reserve University, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Creo Medical, EGOHEALTH, Getinge and HyperMed.
