Andersen Sterilizers, a division of Andersen Products, has been at the forefront of sterilisation technology for over six decades. The company’s innovative solutions for safe and effective decontamination have made it a trusted name in the healthcare industry, with a global customer base that includes medical device manufacturers, hospitals, clinics, dentists, and veterinarians.
The Background Story
During the 1980s, ethylene oxide, the go-to hospital sterilant, was encumbered by safety concerns and logistical challenges. Massive 50-pound EO tanks, specialized storage rooms, and the occasional explosion made it a less-than-ideal choice. In response, some manufacturers added inert gases to reduce explosiveness, but this compromised effectiveness and introduced greenhouse gases. The drawbacks of these early EO systems often overshadowed the potential of modern advancements.
Andersen Sterilizers, however, rose to the challenge. It was founded in 1956 by Dr. Harold Andersen, a surgeon at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. Dr. Andersen’s need to sterilise his range of innovative, bilumenal nasogastric tubes and wound drains led to the development of a range of Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilisers. Hence, the need to sterilize these groundbreaking products birthed a game-changing method—ethylene oxide sterilization with a flexible chamber.
Over the years, the range of tubes and drains offered has increased, and the EtO sterilisers have developed to meet ever more stringent standards for effectiveness and safety. Andersen Sterilizers’ founder, H.W. Andersen, M.D. believes every patient deserves a sterile instrument every time, “Not 99% of the time, but EVERY time.”
