Plasma Steriliser for the Rapid and Cost-efficient Disinfection of Medical Instruments at a Hospital Operating in a War Zone

Aid recipient
Тhe Meshchaninov Emergency Hospital (Kharkiv, Ukraine)

Another plasma steriliser that we delivered to one of the Ukrainian hospitals – this time to Kharkiv.

By the way, what’s the difference between a plasma steriliser and the standard steam or gas autoclaves that most hospitals still use?

—FASTER
The whole process takes only 20 minutes; other methods can take hours. You can imagine that this alone is a game-changer for a hospital near the front line.

—EASIER-TO-USE
Staff can operate a plasma steriliser with minimal training. As our supplier says, “You only need one person to run it.” This is especially crucial for the Meshchaninov Emergency Hospital in Kharkiv, where much of the staff left when the Russians invaded.

—COST-EFFECTIVE
Yes, the upfront cost may be higher, but a plasma steriliser actually saves money in the long run, because it actively extends the lifespan of the most expensive medical instruments (like the ones used in microsurgery and endoscopy).

Delivered in spring 2025.
