EO sterilization mask is a mask sterilized with ethylene oxide.
Advantages: Compared with other sterilization methods, even medical devices sensitive to high temperature, high humidity, radiation and other factors can be sterilized by EO without damaging medical devices. With the development of the times, new materials, such as plastics and elastic polymers, will lose their stability at high temperature and are increasingly used in the manufacture of medical devices, so EO sterilization has broad application prospects.
Precisely: EO sterilization cycle is long, the cost is high, skilled operators with professional training are needed, and it will have toxic and harmful effects on operators, and there is a risk of handling flammable and explosive gases. More importantly, if degassing is improper, the ethylene oxide gas remaining on medical devices may also cause health hazards to medical personnel and patients.
