SterIndex is an independent news aggregation and editorial digest focused exclusively on sterile processing, surgical instrumentation, and medical device decontamination. We track research, regulatory updates, and industry developments so sterile processing departments, infection prevention specialists, and OR professionals don't have to.
Every article on SterIndex is sourced from publicly available, peer-reviewed, or regulatory publications — PubMed, the FDA, the CDC, and the WHO. Our editorial process converts dense abstracts and regulatory notices into concise, readable summaries written for working professionals, not academic audiences.
The Producers Directory lists 100 global manufacturers operating in or targeting the US market, covering capital equipment, surgical instruments, instrument care consumables, and sterile packaging — with live filtering by category and FDA clearance status.
SterIndex is built for sterile processing department (SPD) managers and technicians, infection preventionists, OR charge nurses, biomedical engineers, surgical instrument specialists, and anyone responsible for maintaining sterility standards in a clinical or surgical environment.
Every summary links directly to the original publication. We describe — we don't editorialize or advise.
