Disinfection unit solves problem, wins prize (Stella Performance)
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - Oct. 5 2010 ) A chance conversation about the difficulties that some medical specialists have to in-house disinfect and sterilise their equipment has resulted in a potential world-wide market of millions and the Bayer Innovators Award 2010 in Design and Engineering for Stella Performance Ltd.
The Tauranga-based subsidiary of British company Tristel PLC is now producing a relatively small and cost-effective manual disinfectant system that handles the parent company’s chlorine dioxide sterilant chemistry in a single-use product.
The Stella Performance unit, about the size of a small computer printer, has received enormous excitement whenever it has been exhibited at medical conferences or congresses said New Zealand director Justine Beale.
