Our personal story
of HAI infection

Patient infections in hospitals are the unspoken healthcare epidemic affecting an estimated 687,000 infections and 72,000 deaths each year. Globally, roughly 1 in 10 patients acquires an HAI during care. Watch our short video and hear our story.

How we help

Hospital packaging
Improvement Project

Hawo and Van der Stähl Scientific have collaborated to turn Hospitals Blue with our industry leading medical pouch sealers. The SterileAware® “Medical device packaging improvement project” aims to replace the inadequate low-tech medical pouch sealers that could risk the sterility of surgical devices.

Smarter medical
packaging starts here

Straight seals from roll‑stock pouches can be difficult for clinicians to open safely. That’s why we developed the patent‑pending MD‑8500‑C, a system that forms chevron‑shaped seals for improved access and safer Clinical presentation.

How we help

Our mission for
Improved Patient safety

We believe when business approaches a cause with determined corporate might, yet guided with the heart of a non-profit, great things will happen. The SterileAware® hybrid is about bringing to the market healthcare packaging machine technology and packaging testing systems, watch as our mission grows.

Self-Seal Pouches
have a new best friend

Self‑sealing pouches often fail because proper pressure is rarely applied evenly by hand. In busy hospital settings, rushed technique and inconsistent force can leave weak spots or channels, making sterile barrier failure far more likely. With our SPD-S we mechanize the process for repeatable seals.

ISO 11607 compliant

It’s what’s inside
that matters most

It is the technology inside medical packaging equipment that makes the difference. The ‘SterileAware™ Inside’ label tells medical device manufacturers that the labeled pouch sealer includes features that supports validation so their device can be delivered sterile to the patient.
