Description
The Plasmapp STERLINK Mini Sterilizer is a compact low-temperature plasma sterilizer sized for practices that reprocess a few instrument sets at a time. It completes a STERLOAD Mini cycle in 18 minutes and runs from a separate stand-alone pump, so it fits on a counter in the reprocessing corner.
- 18-Minute Cycle – the single STERLOAD Mini cassette cycle turns sets around quickly
- Compact Footprint – 10.8 x 17.3 x 13.0 in overall, sized for a countertop
- Stand-Alone Pump – the separate pump module keeps the main unit at 44.1 lb
- Gentle Low Temperature – sterilization below 140 °F for heat- and moisture-sensitive instruments
Main Description
Small practices face the same reprocessing rules as hospitals but rarely have a dedicated sterile processing room. This unit brings hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization down to a 1.8-gallon chamber that matches lighter daily instrument volumes. Loads run on single-use STERLOAD Mini cassettes, and the 18-minute cycle keeps pace with back-to-back appointments. The process runs below 140 °F, so delicate and moisture-sensitive devices avoid the stress of repeated steam cycles. A starter kit is included with purchase, and the sterilizer carries FDA 510(k) clearance for the US human-health market.

Plasmapp developed the line at KAIST and supports US human-health customers through Plasmapp America. For a practice that sterilizes a handful of sets a day, it removes the autoclave bottleneck without a facility project.
