The Rise of Alternative Sterilization: Healthcare Industry Trends, Modality Comparison, and the Critical Role of Packaging

작성: Oliver Healthcare Packaging | 2025년 6월 26일 13:35:02

The sterilization industry for single use, sterile barrier systems in healthcare packaging has long been dominated by two options: Ethylene Oxide and Gamma Irradiation. But several factors, such as regulations, supply chain challenges, and sustainability, are leading organizations to consider other options. Alternative chemical gas and radiation technologies that were once considered “niche” are gaining popularity. As the industry works with regulators to accelerate acceptance and standardization of these alternatives, it will be critical for healthcare packaging professionals to understand how these modalities compare to one another in terms of parameters used, compatibility of packaging and device materials, depth of penetration, scalability, and more. Watch this webinar as Jeremy Elwell (Technical Manager, Oliver Healthcare Packaging), and Dan Floyd (MDM & Regulatory Specialist and Microbiologist, DuPont) share their knowledge on this topic and provide guidance for healthcare packaging teams to effectively collaborate and partner with sterilization decision-makers in their organization.
