Beyond Manufacturing: How Soltech Ensures Sterilization of Every Surgical Instrument

When someone goes to the hospital for surgery, doctors rely on high-quality surgical instruments to perform procedures safely and effectively. However, making these tools is only half the story. In addition, ensuring that every instrument is completely sterilized and germ-free is equally critical. At Soltech, we go beyond manufacturing — we guarantee that every instrument is safe, clean, and ready for immediate use.

What Is Sterilization?

Sterilization involves eliminating all bacteria, viruses, and germs from a medical instrument. Unlike simple cleaning, sterilization uses high heat, specialized gases, or chemicals to destroy even the tiniest pathogens.

In hospitals, sterilization plays a vital role. If a surgical instrument is not fully sterilized, it could expose patients to serious infections. Therefore, proper sterilization is essential for patient safety.

What Makes Soltech Different?

Many medical tool manufacturers produce instruments and then send them elsewhere for sterilization. In contrast, Soltech performs both manufacturing and sterilization in-house, which ensures consistent quality and safety from start to finish.

Our Process Includes:

Manufacturing surgical tools, including scissors, forceps, scalpels, and more.
Sterilizing tools using advanced methods to remove all germs and bacteria.

Consequently, hospitals and doctors can trust Soltech instruments to be ready for immediate use.

How Soltech Sterilizes Surgical Instruments

We employ several cutting-edge sterilization methods, each carefully tailored to different types of instruments:

1. Steam Sterilization (Autoclave)

We use high-pressure steam at 121°C to 134°C.
The process takes 3 to 30 minutes, depending on the instrument type.
This method kills all germs efficiently and works for most surgical tools.

2. Gas Sterilization (ETO – Ethylene Oxide)

This method suits heat-sensitive instruments.
It operates at 37°C to 63°C and usually takes a few hours.
Gas sterilization safely disinfects delicate tools without causing damage.

3. Dry Heat Sterilization

We apply high heat without moisture at 160°C to 180°C.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours.
This method works best for instruments that require dry sterilization.

4. Chemical Sterilization

Special sterilizing liquids clean instruments at room temperature or slightly warm.
Duration: 20 to 90 minutes, depending on the chemical used.
This method ensures sensitive instruments remain intact while becoming germ-free.

After sterilization, we seal each instrument in sterile packaging, which prevents contamination and ensures it arrives at hospitals ready for immediate use.

Why Soltech’s Approach Matters

By handling both manufacturing and sterilization, Soltech provides several key benefits:

Saves time for doctors — instruments arrive ready for use.
Reduces infection risks — patient safety is prioritized.
Promotes faster recovery — germ-free tools minimize post-surgery complications.
Ensures reliable quality — instruments remain durable, precise, and sterile.
