The SterileWave endoscope product line precludes the need for ethylene oxide, radiation, or any other chemical or method of sterilizing endoscopic instruments. The SterileWave endoscope is single-use. Perform the surgical procedure and discard. This eliminates the harsh chemicals, the labor, the training, the sterilization equipment and all the associated costs, all for a higher resolution image. EPA inspections and carryover infections leading to legal challenges are no longer necessary when it comes to laparoscopic procedures in the OR.
