"Nanosonics is committed to keeping patients and clinicians safe, while also protecting the environment for future generations. We developed the trophon device with this Environmental, Social, and Governance commitment in mind. The by-products of a high-level disinfection cycle are just oxygen and a few drops of water - preventing the need for disposal of chemical waste. Once a trophon device has reached retirement, we minimize the environmental footprint through a partnership with a state-of-the-art recycling facility. Their advanced technology keeps 100% of recycled materials out of landfills!"
