HealthpointCapital Acquires SteriCUBE®: Safer Sterilization Platform

HealthpointCapital, the leading private equity firm specializing in musculoskeletal healthcare, has recently announced its acquisition of a majority stake in SteriCUBE Holdings, Inc.

The SteriCUBE® Multiple Tray Sterilization (MTS) System is an innovative and patented technology that offers an environmentally friendly solution for sterilizing instrument-holding trays. These trays play a crucial role in organizing and safeguarding the various instruments used in both orthopaedic and cardiac surgeries.

Traditionally, hospitals have relied on polypropylene and paper material, commonly referred to as "blue wrap," to wrap sterilized instrument trays. This practice has been in place for over 75 years, serving as a protective barrier against external air. Each tray is meticulously wrapped by hand with two layers, consuming approximately 18 to 32 square feet of material. Considering that multiple trays are required for each surgery, the disposable wraps contribute to a staggering 20% of all operating room waste, amounting to an estimated 255 million pounds annually.1 Moreover, blue wrap is prone to perforations, which can compromise the sterility of the enclosed instruments. When such perforations occur, which happens more than 10% of the time, surgical procedures are often delayed, resulting in significant costs.
