Our Systems Help You Save On Your Bottom Line
Veterinary Hospitals and Clinics Reduce Costs With Andersen
As the cost of surgical devices, sterilization, and supply chain delays continues to rise, veterinary practices often face the challenge of balancing quality care and cost efficiency. Andersen’s FDA-cleared systems, featuring Ethylene Oxide-Flexible Chamber Technology® (EO-FCT), provide terminal sterilization for numerous devices, helping to ensure veterinary hospitals and clinics save on their bottom line. Ethylene oxide is tough on pathogens yet gentle on expensive medical instruments. Whether you are using a $500 vessel sealer or a $25 cautery tool, gas sterilization safeguards your investment, protects your patients and preserves your instruments.
Re-Sterilize and Reuse Surgical Devices
Andersen systems allow safe re-sterilization of many devices, saving both costs and supplies. Monopolar cautery units with built-in plume suction cost around $25 each. Clinics could sterilize and reuse just one of these units up to five times, saving $125. Andersen’s sterilizers are compatible with:
- Heat-sensitive devices
- Metal devices
- Rubber-based devices
- Vessel sealing tools (e.g., LigaSure)
- Optical scopes and electronics
- Cautery units
- Syringes and tubing
- Sutures and needles
- Scalpels and blades
- Wraps

Eliminate Outsourcing Costs
Sensitive tools often require third-party sterilization. Andersen’s sterilizer systems equip you to process everything in-house, cutting third-party costs and delays.
Efficient & Effective
The EOGas 4 features a minimum cycle time of 3.5 hours, enabling veterinary clinics to sterilize multiple loads per day, making it the perfect solution for busy practices with same-day surgeries. This quick turnaround keeps procedures on schedule and reduces the need for costly backup instruments, helping clinics save time, space, and money.
Low Operating Costs
Andersen EO sterilizers offer an efficient and budget-friendly sterilization solution for veterinary facilities. Unlike autoclave systems, Andersen’s sterilization technology does not require complicated HVAC upgrades, water connections, or high energy usage. This makes installation simpler and more cost-effective. Our sterilizers are energy-efficient. The AN75 series uses just 150 watts — about the same as a ceiling fan. Even the larger EOGas 4 uses only 630 watts, similar to a dishwasher or microwave. Andersen’s sterilizer technology is low-energy, low-cost and low-maintenance, reducing ongoing service needs and helping veterinary facilities maintain predictable and minimal overhead costs.
Invest in Cost Efficiency with an Andersen EO Sterilizer
Beyond providing medical care, veterinary facilities face the ongoing challenge of managing costs and resources efficiently. Clinics must find practical solutions that support both patient safety and financial sustainability. Andersen ethylene oxide sterilizers offer a reliable and affordable sterilization solution. With Andersen, facilities can safely reuse surgical instruments, eliminate reliance on outsourced sterilization, protect heat-sensitive tools, and reduce supply waste and energy use. Whether your clinic needs a compact option, such as the Anprolene AN75, or a higher-capacity model, such as the EOGas 4, Andersen provides sterilization solutions that fit your workflow and budget.
