Aesculap, Inc. introduces the SterilContainer S product line for use in the STERIS Corporation’s V-PRO 1 and V-PRO 1 Plus Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The V-PRO 1 and V-PRO 1 Plus Low Temperature Sterilization Systems can quickly process high volumes of heat and moisture-sensitive devices using vaporized hydrogen peroxide, an environmentally friendly sterilant. In addition to the single 55-minute automated cycle of the V-PRO 1 system, the new V-PRO 1 Plus sterilizer includes a second 28-minute cycle specifically for sterilizing non-lumened devices. This allows operators to enhance productivity by choosing the cycle that best matches the devices being sterilized. Both systems have a one-touch control that requires minimal training, and both are equipped with remote monitoring capabilities for increased uptime. According to the company, the reusable, environmentally-friendly, rigid container system features:

• The ability to be used for packaging, transportation, and storage of instruments prior to, during and after sterilization.
• Full, three-quarter, half and extra-long mini size SterilContainers.
• Instrument baskets.
• Filters.
• Indicator cards.
• Tamper proof locks.
• Silicone mats.
• The Aesculap Instrument Organization System.
