The Genesis™ low-temperature rigid sterilisation container system can be used for low-temperature sterilisation processes and systems from market-leading steriliser manufacturers, including the V-PRO low-temperature sterilisation systems from Steris and Sterrad Systems from Advanced Sterilisation Products (ASP).
Low-temperature sterilisation is an evolving practice in sterile processing and is used for instrumentation that cannot endure high-temperature and moisture present in traditional steam sterilisation practices.
BD Infection Prevention, V. Mueller and Interventional Specialties worldwide vice-president and general manager Jim Leitl said: "Our new containers have the same trusted functionality that our customers in the sterile processing department have come to expect, but they have been validated for today’s latest low-temperature processes.
"We will continue to extend our leadership in sterilisation containers and surgical instrumentation through innovations that positively impact both clinical and financial outcomes."
