Team Sterilizer

 

Portable device to sterilize surgical tools with shortened cycles in austere environments.

P.A.S.S. is a portable advanced steam sterilizer that features short sterilization cycles and is designed for use in austere, military environments.

Project Description:

Sterilizing surgical instruments in austere environments is a challenging problem for military medical operations. Soldiers with traumatic injuries require immediate treatment and intervention, however, there are limited numbers of surgical tool sets readily available. Tools must be first sterilized and this process can take up to two hours for a full cleaning cycle. Traditional sterilizers are also large, heavy, and require substantial power, which can be in short supply in forward-operating medical facilities.
