SBIR/STTR Award attributes
The current steam based sterilizers of US military has a number of shortcomings including lack of portability and high use of water. It is highly desirable to develop a high portable, efficient and water independent sterilizer for Navy applications. The proposing team will develop a field-ruggedized medical device for providing field sterilization of surgical instruments, tools, trays, and other reusable medical devices that come into contact with patients. The sterilizer will be developed for optimum performance and high likelihood of FDA 510K approval. The sterilizer will have military as well as civilian market applications.
