In hospital management, ensuring the sterility of surgical instruments, medical devices, and other consumables is critical for patient safety and effective healthcare delivery. The market for hospital sterilization equipment encompasses a variety of devices and technologies designed to eliminate all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, and spores, from medical equipment and facilities. Common methods of sterilization involve heat, chemicals, radiation, and filtration. Autoclaves, which use steam and pressure, are standard for sterilizing surgical tools, whereas low-temperature sterilizers using hydrogen peroxide or ozone may be used for temperature-sensitive items. Moreover, ultraviolet light devices are increasingly employed for decontaminating hospital rooms and surfaces. In the context of hospital management, these devices play a pivotal role in infection control practices, supporting hospitals' efforts to maintain hygiene standards and comply with regulatory requirements to protect patient health and ensure high-quality care.
