Executive Summary

SteriPlasma-H is a handheld, low-temperature plasma sterilizer designed for rapid, safe, and residue-free disinfection of hospital surfaces. The device sterilizes high-touch areas in 60 seconds, is ergonomic and cost-effective, and integrates smoothly into existing hospital workflows. With a target manufacturing cost under ₨ 115,000 per unit, it combines usability, efficiency, and safety, making it suitable for both large and resource-constrained healthcare settings.

The Problem

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) remain a significant threat to patient safety worldwide, particularly in environments with high patient throughput and limited sterilization infrastructure. Traditional sterilization methods are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and may leave chemical residues, leaving patients and staff at risk.

Opportunity
A portable, rapid sterilization solution addresses a critical need in infection control. The market potential spans hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers nationwide, with further scalability to international healthcare facilities. The global hospital-acquired infection control market was valued at $19.76 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a 6.65% CAGR through 2030 (Grand View Research). Disinfection alone accounts for 55% of this market. By reducing HAIs, improving operational efficiency, and minimizing chemical exposure, SteriPlasma-H offers a significant clinical and commercial impact.
