Abstract

Sterilization is crucial in healthcare environments to avert the spread of infections and to guarantee patient safety. Ultraviolet (UV) sterilization has surfaced as an effective technique due to its capability to eradicate microorganisms without compromising the properties of materials. In this study, we propose the design and production of a UV sterilization device specifically designed for medical instruments. Prioritizing user safety, the device integrates several safety features to reduce potential hazards. Different components and elements within the device fulfill various roles to enhance the sterilization process. Through thorough testing, we will assess the effectiveness of the device in sterilizing medical instruments. Moreover, evaluations will be conducted to measure the sterilization efficiency of the device on medical instruments. Through this research, we aspire to contribute to the progress of sterilization technologies in healthcare, ultimately improving patient care and safety.
