Is Fisso ISO certified?

What is the difference between sterilizable and non-sterilizable products?

Sterilizable products from FISSO are specifically designed for applications that undergo steam sterilization at temperatures up to 273°F (134°C). These products are suitable for use in demanding environments such as surgical settings. They are commonly employed as endoscope or instrument holders during surgeries.

On the other hand, non-sterilizable products from FISSO are intended for applications that require surface wipe cleaning or disinfection rather than steam sterilization. These products are commonly used in various medical scenarios, including patient arm positioning, anesthetic and breathing tubes, as well as monitoring monitors. They are designed to withstand the cleaning and disinfection protocols typically implemented in healthcare settings.
