ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH STERIGERMS® CAN BE USED

STERIGERMS® offers all the advantages of a solution which treats potentially infectious clinical waste on the site where it is actually produced, using just a power socket and without requiring any investment in facilities or layout.

Using STERIGERMS® gives any producer of biomedical waste better control over the hygiene chain, leading to an immediate improvement in environmental security and the costs that come with it.
