MediPlas enables solutions to sterilize specific surfaces and objects by generating reactive species that can penetrate microbial cell walls, damaging their structure and function, and resulting in the inactivation or destruction of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even bacterial spores.
With relatively low temperatures, MediPlas is suitable for sterilizing heat-sensitive materials such as plastics, electronics, and medical devices in a shorter time compared to conventional sterilization methods such as autoclaving or using highly toxic chemicals like ethylene oxide (EtO).
MediPlas consists of two components: the reactor and the driver. Its heart is the reactor, which generates the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) based on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) technology. The composition and the concentrations of the RONS in the resulting gas mixture depend on the type of gas provided (e.g., composition, humidity, temperature), the applied power provided by the driver, and the temperature in the reaction chamber.
