Andersen Sterilizers is the only active manufacturer in the world producing standalone EO sterilizers with FDA 510(k) clearances. Andersen is represented in 50+ countries worldwide and has been pioneering ethylene oxide sterilization since the early 1960s and its patented Flexible Chamber Technology powers a system capable of using 90% less ethylene oxide gas than competitors. Besides reducing per cycle costs, the microdose of EO ensures minimal EO emissions that can be neutralized altogether through our FDA Innovation Challenge award-winning abatement technology.

Today the product line includes two lines of gas sterilizers (Anprolene and EOGas), with their associated chemical and biological sterilization monitors as well as gastric sump tubes, wound drains and pumps, and thoracic pumps.

Andersen customers include a diverse group of over 6,000 healthcare-related facilities around the world, such as hospitals, day surgery centers, veterinary clinics, research and clinical laboratories, and other medical device manufacturers. Andersen conducts business with distributors in every continent and subcontinent. From mobile field hospitals in developing countries to the most sophisticated tertiary care institutions on the globe — Andersen is there.

The company was founded by Dr. Harold W. Andersen, a surgeon from New York. Dr. Andersen invented a better apparatus for gastric drainage in the course of his clinical work at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. His colleagues began asking for the new devices, which led to the formation of Andersen Products. Over the years, the company has maintained its focus on providing cutting-edge technology for niche healthcare applications, and in particular for those related to sensitive instrument sterilization.

Health Science Park, the group's North Carolina headquarters, houses manufacturing, quality assurance laboratory, R&D, warehousing, sales/marketing and administrative offices. The plant is EPA- and FDA-registered, and OSHA compliant.
