3M Attest VH2O2 Monitoring Solutions

Sterilization isn't a one-size-fits-all process. Heat- and moisture-sensitive devices, like endoscopes, require low-temperature sterilization. So you need to prioritize reducing risk across the board and ensuring every patient gets the highest standard of care.
