Sterilization containers is a reusable rigid container that is used to keep and store surgical instruments after they have been sterilized. These containers come in a variety of materials and sizes, and they have filters that allow sterilizing agents to enter. Sterilization containers are categorized as Class II medical equipment.
They provide significant environmental and economic benefits as well as improved safety. Sterilization containers are made of metal or plastic, which require higher upfront costs. When compared to sterilization wraps and their associated disposal costs, the reusability of rigid containers results in a huge reduction in waste generated.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Sterilization containers play a crucial role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare premises. During the outbreak, patient-to-patient pathogen transmission via medical devices is completely prevented by correctly sterilizing the medical devices. The use of sterilization equipment to sterilize or disinfect the medical devices has increased during the pandemic, due to inappropriate decontamination of endoscopic devices, surgical instruments, and respiratory care devices, which can increase the threat of COVID-19 transmission.
Many countries have started to reopen, but it will take time for the consumption rates of surgical container systems to reach pre-pandemic levels. In addition, any resurgence in COVID-19 infections could result in lockdown and other restrictions to slow down the spread of COVID-19, which could negatively impact market growth.

Surge in usage in sterilization containers
HAIs are major problems in healthcare management and cause morbidity and mortality. The Center for Disease Control has estimated that alone in American hospitals, nearly 1.7 million infections are HAIs, of which 22% are surgical site infections. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are normally occurring HAIs, credited to the surgical placement of implants or prosthesis or caused by exposure to instruments and materials brought during an operation, surgical personnel, surgical tools, the operating environment, and endogenous flora. The most common bacteria associated with HAIs comprise methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella, C. difficile, Enterococcus, E. coli, and Pseudomonas. The growing prevalence of HAIs is the major growth driver for the sterilization container systems market.
