MediPlas

Advanced, eco-friendly sterilization* technology

 Intro Pic

MediPlas provides on-demand, in-situ sterilization by generating reactive species that effectively neutralize harmful microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, across diverse surfaces.

Its low-temperature operation makes it ideal for sterilizing heat-sensitive materials such as plastics, electronics, and medical devices, delivering a faster, safer alternative to conventional methods like autoclaving or ethylene oxide (EtO).

How MediPlas works

 function

MediPlas operates through two core components: the reactor and the driver. The reactor uses dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) technology to generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which are key to its decontamination capabilities.

The exact composition and concentration of RONS in the gas mixture are influenced by several factors, including:

  • Type and humidity of the input gas
  • Temperature within the reaction chamber
  • Power settings applied by the driver.

Thanks to its flexible design, the MediPlas system can be tuned to produce a customized gas composition tailored to your specific application – in real time. This adaptability allows you to modify the reactive environment during the decontamination cycle without changing hardware or adding chemicals.

Innovative applications

Closed-loop systems

 1 Closed-loop Pic

For systems capable of self-sterilization without disassembly, known as Cleaning in Place (CIP). The MediPlas reactor maintains a continuous circulation of reactive gases, steadily increasing their concentration. After the sterilization cycle is completed, the reactive agents are filtered out.

Ideal for medical environments, MediPlas ensures sterility without damaging sensitive instruments,  preserving both safety and equipment longevity.

Batch setups

In batch configurations, medical instruments are placed inside a sealed chamber. The MediPlas reactor fills this chamber with reactive gases, ensuring comprehensive exposure across all surfaces.

Unlike traditional autoclaves, MediPlas operates at low temperatures, making it suitable for delicate items such as endoscopes, wound dressings, and stents. It also enables faster cycles, requires no added chemicals, and consumes less energy.

Plasma-activated water (PAW)

 3 Water Pic

MediPlas can ionize the air or gas surrounding water to produce a potent blend of reactive species, such as ozone (O₃), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) – collectively known as Plasma-activated water (PAW).

These reactive species induce oxidative stress on microbial cells, damaging their membranes and internal structures, ultimately leading to microbial inactivation. PAW is widely used in medical and dental sterilization, food safety, and agriculture.


Unique benefits

In-situ supply

 Customizable

MediPlas generates reactive species on demand, eliminating the need for complex supply chains or storage of hazardous chemicals. This makes it a highly flexible and scalable solution for various environments.

Environment-friendly

 Sustainable

Designed with both sustainability and sensitivity in mind, MediPlas offers a low-temperature alternative ideal for delicate instruments such as endoscopes, wound dressings, and stents.

Compared to EtO and autoclaves, MediPlas is cleaner, chemical-free, and energy efficient – making it safer for users and the environment.
 

Lightning speed cycles

 Fast

Unlike EtO, MediPlas requires no extended aeration times after the sterilization cycle. This significantly accelerates turnaround times, improving workflow efficiency and reducing downtime.

Comparison with common sterilization methods

 Comparison Pic

MediPlas enables in-situ RONS generation, such as hydrogen peroxide, for cost-effective solutions in a fraction of the time compared to conventional cycles. This means it is a genuine alternative to ethylene oxide (EtO).

*Disclaimer on sterilization terminology

The term “sterilization” as used throughout this website refers to the intended microbial inactivation capabilities of the MediPlas system. Achieving true sterilization – defined as the complete elimination of all forms of microbial life, including bacterial spores – depends on specific boundary conditions such as exposure time, concentration of reactive species, environmental parameters, and validation protocols. Users must ensure that operational settings meet the required standards for sterilization in their respective applications and regulatory environments.
