Andersen Sterilizers

Andersen Products distributes and services gas sterilization products manufactured by Andersen Sterilizers, Inc.

Andersen Products was founded in 1958. It began its medical business in Oyster Bay, New York in 1963 with the manufacture of a new design for a stomach tube. The need to sterilize these tubes led to the development of the Anprolene line of ethylene oxide sterilizers.

Today the product line includes two lines of gas sterilizers (Anprolene and EOGas), with their associated chemical and biological sterilization monitors as well as gastric sump tubes, wound drains and pumps, and thoracic pumps.

Andersen customers include a diverse group of over 6,000 healthcare-related facilities around the world, such as hospitals, day surgery centers, veterinary clinics, research and clinical laboratories, and other medical device manufacturers. Andersen conducts business with distributors in every continent and subcontinent. From mobile field hospitals in developing countries to the most sophisticated tertiary care institutions on the globe — Andersen is there.

The company was founded by Dr. Harold W. Andersen, a surgeon from New York. Dr. Andersen invented a better apparatus for gastric drainage in the course of his clinical work at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. His colleagues began asking for the new devices, which led to the formation of Andersen Products. Over the years, the company has maintained its focus on providing cutting-edge technology for niche healthcare applications, and in particular for those related to sensitive instrument sterilization.

Health Science Park, the group’s North Carolina headquarters, houses manufacturing, quality assurance laboratory, R&D, warehousing, sales/marketing and administrative offices. The plant is EPA- and FDA-registered, and OSHA compliant.
