A growing number of medical device innovations are introduced each year to equip medical professionals with solutions designed to enhance patient health. A critical aspect of these devices is sterilization, which ensures the eradication of pathogens to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). HAIs are prevalent in about 1 in 31 hospital patients in the United States.1 Annually, sepsis was indicated in approximately 1.7 million cases, or 6% of hospitalizations, culminating in 270,000 fatalities.2 Proactive measures, with sterilization at the forefront, are paramount for bolstering patient safety and minimizing the detrimental repercussions of HAIs.
