Solutions tailored to every healthcare setting

Infectious medical waste is generated in a wide range of healthcare environments, each with its own specific constraints in terms of waste volumes, infrastructure, logistics and waste management.

Thanks to its compact shredding and microwave treatment technology, Sterilwave offers solutions tailored to these different environments, enabling medical waste to be treated directly at the point of generation.

Hospitals

Simplifying medical waste management in healthcare facilities.

Hospitals, clinics, university hospitals and healthcare centres generate significant volumes of infectious medical waste every day. Managing this waste involves storage, collection, transport and treatment constraints, which can represent a substantial operational and financial burden.

Traditionally outsourced to external service providers, the treatment of this waste may also depend on the availability and proximity of specialized treatment facilities.

With Sterilwave, healthcare facilities can treat their waste directly on-site, as close as possible to the point of generation.

Benefits for healthcare facilities

Reduce waste volume and weight

Sterilwave reduces waste volume by up to 85% and waste weight by up to 25%.

Reduce carbon footprint

On-site treatment reduces the need to transport waste to external treatment facilities.

Reduce treatment costs

Treating waste on-site can significantly reduce your treatment costs.

Track operations

All operations are recorded and monitored remotely, making reporting easier.

Reduce the risk of contamination

Infectious medical waste no longer needs to leave the healthcare facility.

Laboratories

Medical testing laboratories, research centres, pharmaceutical laboratories and specialised facilities generate various types of waste that may pose biological risks.

Managing this waste requires appropriate procedures that take into account space constraints and the sometimes limited volumes generated by these facilities.

Sterilwave combines shredding, microwave heating and microbial inactivation in a single chamber.

A compact solution

The Sterilwave 50 and Sterilwave 100 models are particularly well suited to facilities generating small volumes of medical waste.

Their compact design makes them easy to integrate into space-constrained environments.

NGOs and humanitarian organisations

Decontamination: a major global health challenge

In humanitarian missions, refugee camps, temporary medical facilities and remote areas, medical waste management is a major challenge for public health, healthcare safety and operational efficiency.

The lack of suitable treatment infrastructure, logistical constraints and the distance from specialised facilities often make the management of infectious healthcare waste particularly challenging.

Thanks to their compact, self-contained design, Sterilwave solutions enable waste to be treated directly on-site, reducing transportation requirements and minimising the risks associated with waste storage and handling.

With numerous installations worldwide, Sterilwave has become a trusted partner for major international humanitarian organisations, including United Nations agencies, as well as leading funding organisations supporting healthcare infrastructure and humanitarian programmes.

A solution for remote environments

We develop solutions tailored to environments with limited infrastructure, including self-sufficient units powered by solar panels and systems integrated into containers, requiring no dedicated building.

Military and defence

Treat medical waste, even in the most challenging environments.

Military bases, field hospitals, operational medical centres and defence facilities sometimes need to manage infectious medical waste in environments where treatment infrastructure is limited, remote or difficult to access.

Unlike traditional incineration systems, which are polluting and widely used, Sterilwave offers a 100% electric solution with no combustion.

Thanks to their compact design, Sterilwave units can be easily integrated into mobile containerised facilities, facilitating deployment at field hospitals, field operating bases and temporary medical facilities.

Technology designed for remote environments

Sterilwave is particularly well suited to situations where access to external waste treatment facilities is challenging.

Configurations tailored to your operational needs

Depending on site-specific requirements, tailored configurations can be considered, including containerised installations, self-sufficient units and solutions adapted to temporary or remote facilities.
