Hospitech offers expert consulting services in the design and redesign of central sterilisation and sterile storage facilities in hospitals, ensuring compliance with industry standards, operational efficiency, and patient safety.

We provide guidance on equipment selection, process automation, and best-practice infection control measures to create state-of-the-art sterile processing departments.
Additionally, we specialise in the design of sterile storage facilities, focusing on efficient inventory management, optimised storage solutions, and streamlined picking processes to reduce retrieval times for sterile consumables and equipment.
