Overview

Operating rooms are critical environments where efficiency and hygiene directly affect patient outcomes.

Sterolux’s advanced sterilization technology is redefining what’s possible in terms of operating room (OR) turnover and infection control. With Sterolux, hospitals and surgical centers can streamline their reprocessing workflows, reduce delays, and maintain the highest standard of sterility—without compromising speed.

The solution uses proprietary sterilization methods, including low-temperature plasma and ozone cycles, to rapidly disinfect surgical instruments and room surfaces while ensuring zero chemical residue. This not only enhances staff safety but also reduces the risks associated with traditional chemical or high-heat sterilization.

Sterolux technology has already proven transformative in multiple healthcare environments. In one case, a regional hospital system saw a 42% reduction in OR turnover time after adopting Sterolux across four surgical units. The facility reported that the quicker cycle times and simplified workflow helped minimize downtime between procedures, enabling more surgeries per day and improving scheduling efficiency.

Sterolux systems are designed for end-to-end sterilization, covering instruments, air, and surfaces in a single process. This comprehensive approach reduces dependency on fragmented cleaning protocols, enhances compliance, and mitigates the risk of cross-contamination in busy OR settings.

The solution collects and processes data from sterilization cycles to generate automated reports for regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and operational efficiency. These insights help hospitals identify recurring inefficiencies, optimize staff workflows, and maintain consistent sterilization outcomes.

This leap forward in OR hygiene and turnover performance is enabling medical facilities to reimagine their approach to infection control—delivering safer, faster, and more reliable care to every patient.
