IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) today announced that it has expanded its portfolio of educational resources to help healthcare professionals identify an appropriate sterilization solution for their operating room (OR).  These expanded resources include the hosting of a new educational webinar titled "What's the Difference?

ASP will introduce the fifth webinar in its educational series this November featuring clinical and scientific educators explaining the differences between the STERRAD® NX(TM) Sterilization System and the Steris System 1E(TM) to assist facilities that have yet to transition to a Steris System 1 (SS1)® alternative. The webinar will also highlight educational elements from a hands-on workshop tour that ASP recently held to educate OR professionals about best practices in instrument sterilization and help them take their OR expertise to the next level.
