AdaptivEndo™ and Plasmapp have collaborated to assess the effectiveness of low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma in diverse flexible endoscopy applications. The ongoing evaluation centers around the STERLINK Plus tabletop sterilization system. Specifically, the assessment targets the AdaptivEndo™ GI endoscope platform, incorporating a reposable handpiece for hybrid endoscopy. 

The growing demand for sterile endoscopes in operating rooms, driven by the rise in therapeutic endoluminal procedures such as endoluminal sleeve gastroplication, has prompted this exploration. The STERLINK Plus offers an efficient tabletop sterilization option, completing a cycle in a mere 14 minutes. This method not only inspires greater confidence than High-Level Disinfection (HLD) but also aligns with ecological considerations, eliminating the need for toxic chemical disinfectants. 

In the wake of the establishment of Plasmapp America, the company swiftly introduced its FDA-approved medical products to the market in the first quarter of 2023. Plasmapp brings a rich history of innovation in technologies supporting sterilization and disinfection.
