Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to systems and/or apparatuses capable of sterilizing medical products, preferably reusable urinary catheters, or other products using radiation. The apparatus of the present invention can be efficiently configured and designed to provide sterilization of the surfaces of a medical device by emitting radiation in a range sufficient and effective to destroy contaminants including pathogens and microorganisms. According to one preferred embodiment, radiation emitting diodes are placed in an array such that radiation is emitted into the interior of the apparatus enclosing the medical device for sterilization. Preferably, the systems and/or apparatuses can repeatedly sterilize medical products (e.g., reusable urinary catheters) without damaging them.
