Introducing the world’s only smart sterilization container

The Zuno Smart Container is the first sterilization container that creates a verifiable vacuum seal.

Deliver uncompromised sterile barriers to the OR each and every time.

Increase Surgical Capacity

By eliminating existing expensive pain points and the need for porous material barriers, Zuno Smart Containers streamline the sterile processing journey decreasing turnover time & increasing the ability to support additional caseloads.

How it Works

During the autoclave sterilization cycle, the Zuno Smart Container creates a verifiable vacuum seal. The container continues to maintain and monitor the seal enabling objective verification that the container’s sterile barrier has not been compromised.

Streamline Efficiency

Zuno Smart Containers eliminate costly steps in the processing cycle. With the elimination of disposables and streamlined preparation, SPD and OR turnover times are greatly reduced and efficiency increased across multiple departments.

Smart Sterilization

NO BLUE WRAP OR POLYPROPYLENE DISPOSABLES

Prone to process failures, sterilization blue wrap accounts for 19% of all operating room waste1, and approximately 225 million pounds are disposed of annually in the United States2.

NO DELAYED CASES DUE TO PROCESSING FAILURES

Both wrapped trays and current container systems are prone to frequent processing failures, impacting vital instrument availability and causing OR delays which range from $2,160 to $6,780 per hour3.

NO MAINTENANCE

Zuno Smart Containers are available as a subscription service, eliminating the hassle of container maintenance and part replacement.
