About Advanced Sterilization Products
Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) is a global leader in infection prevention, dedicated to safeguarding patients during their most critical moments.
Established in 1987, ASP specializes in developing innovative sterilization and disinfection solutions for medical instruments. The company ensures the highest standards of patient care and safety.
Flagship Technology and Products
ASP's flagship product, the STERRAD™ System, revolutionized medical device sterilization by introducing low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma technology.
This method effectively sterilizes medical instruments without leaving toxic residues. It is suitable for a wide range of devices, including heat-sensitive and complex instruments.
Over the years, ASP expanded its product line to include:
- STERRAD NX™ and 100NX Systems
- Endoscope reprocessing solutions like the EVOTECH™ Endoscope Cleaner and Reprocessor
Acquisition and Growth
In 2018, ASP was acquired by Fortive Corporation, a diversified industrial technology company, for approximately $2.7 billion.
This acquisition enhanced ASP's research and development capabilities, enabling the introduction of groundbreaking technologies like the ULTRA GI™ Cycle.
This FDA-cleared sterilization method for duodenoscopes addresses critical patient safety concerns by moving from high-level disinfection to terminal sterilization.
Commitment to Sustainability
ASP's commitment to environmental sustainability is clear with the design of the STERRAD™ 100NX Sterilizer featuring ALLClear™ Technology.
These systems reduce energy consumption by approximately 70% compared to traditional steam sterilizers and conserve water, helping to reduce the carbon footprint.
Moreover, their gas plasma technology breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, reducing harmful emissions and fostering a healthier work environment.
