Liquid Chemical Sterilization

When compared to high-level disinfection (HLD), liquid chemical sterilization (LCS) provides a higher level of reprocessing assurance for heat-sensitive critical and semi-critical medical devices.

STERIS's automated Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems are the most practical solution for low temperature LCS of heat-sensitive complex endoscopes, including flexible multi-channel devices such as duodenoscopes used in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.
