Ethylene oxide is a proven and efficient disinfectant, which can ensure the sterility of the instrument to a certain extent. The unique properties of ethylene oxide (EO) make it suitable for sterilization of heat-sensitive and humidity-sensitive products. EO can also penetrate the packaging of articles, and it can effectively sterilize at extremely low temperature, which is an ideal technology for low-temperature terminal sterilization.
Product Introduction
Based on a gas diffusion process, EO is capable of sterilizing and rendering products free of micro-organisms. Sterility occurs when an EO gas molecule reacts with and destroys the bacteria DNA . All products must be placed in breathable packaging that allows gas to penetrate the sterile barrier and reach all surfaces of the device or product.

EtO(ethylene oxide) sterilization application in hospitals
Ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization is a critical process used in hospitals to ensure that medical devices, instruments, and other items are free from microorganisms. Its ability to effectively sterilize heat- and moisture-sensitive materials makes it an essential method in medical settings.
