Sterigenics serves a vital role in safely sterilizing critical medical products and devices across the country and around the world

  • Enabling Patient Care. Sterigenics sterilizes millions of critical products each and every day that support patient care including: catheters, drapes, masks, gloves, syringes, IV tubing sets, saline, and other consumables.

  • Performing Essential Service.  The FDA has indicated that ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization “is critical to our health care system and to the continued availability of safe, effective and high-quality medical devices.” 20 billion devices are sterilized using EO each year.

At the Forefront in Responding to COVID-19 Crisis

  • Protecting Patients. Sterigenics sterilizes swabs for FDA-approved COVID-19 test kits along with numerous other critical devices.

  • Protecting Healthcare Professionals. Sterigenics sterilizes approximately 25% of the world’s supply of sterilized personal protective equipment (gowns, masks, gloves).

Sterigenics’ Atlanta Facility is Positioned to Serve Critical U.S. Public Health Needs 

  • Essential Sterilization Capacity. Prior to suspending operations, the Atlanta facility sterilized thousands of gowns and hundreds of thousands of IV tubing sets per day, as well as other essential products.

  • Atlanta Capacity Needed to Meet Demand. Sterigenics and other sterilization facilities are already operating at near full capacity. The only way for Sterigenics to sterilize more lifesaving equipment to meet current needs is to fully and permanently resume operations at the Atlanta facility.

Sterigenics Atlanta is Prepared to Permanently Resume Full Operations
