Sustainability

Sustainability is not simply a good habit, it is the right thing to do for people and for the environment.Ā Our SteriTite containers and MediTray products are reusable medical devices, anodized and passivated for corrosion resistance, designed for longevity and durability.

Our instrument chemistries are composed of only the safest ingredients in their class that are validated for effectiveness and meet all requirements for environmental preference:Ā  biodegradable, free rinsing, readily dispersible, and free of toxic and hazardous chemicals.

Case Medical supports the Safer Choice Label, and is proud to announce that we were chosen as a 2024 Safer Choice Partner of the Year. Case Medical is the only Medical Device Manufacturer recognized by the US EPA as a Safer Choice Partner of the Yearā€”and we received that honor five times since the inception of the program. Case Medical is proud to display the Safer Choice label on its instrument cleaners and lubricants. Safer Choice labeled products are vetted to meet the criteria of the US EPA for sustainability, safety, and environmental preference.Ā Learn more about theĀ Safer Choice Program.
