Low temperature sterilization is one of the most commonly used technique for disinfection and sterilization of equipment that are incapable to withstand high pressures and temperature in conventional sterilization techniques such as autoclave and hot air sterilization. Thus, this technique is considered to ideal for devices such as fiber optics, flexible scopes, laryngoscopes, polymers on camera, and others. The commonly used low temperature Technology type is carried out with the use of ethylene oxide gas as it is absorbed by many kinds of plastic and other materials that are usually sterilized at low temperatures.
The major factors contributing the growth of global low temperature sterilization equipment market are increasing number of surgeries, endoscopic procedures, and increase in healthcare associated infections. According to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2011, 7 out of 100 hospitalized patients procure hospital acquired infection (HAIs) and one third of the intensive care unit (ICU) patients procure hospital acquired infection due to the presence of non-sterile environment. Moreover, the journal of Royal Society Interface reported, in around 44 million cases of infectious diseases from 1980 - 2013 worldwide. Another factor responsible for promoting growth of the global low temperature sterilization equipment market include increasing number of surgical procedures, especially minimally surgical procedures in which the laparoscopic and various other devices require sterilization at low temperatures. However, the growth of Low Temperature Sterilization Equipment Market is hindered by the inability of these devices to perform disinfection on strong absorbers, liquids and powders.
