Global Impact
Eniware’s clear and specific goals directly address an urgent and widely recognized unmet global need: To enable health professionals worldwide to support safe essential surgery by providing sterilization capacity anywhere, independent of the availability of power or water. Eniware envisions a world where everyone has access to safe surgery, whether in New York City, a rural village in Asia, a district hospital in Ethiopia, a military’s far-forward combat surgical unit, a refugee camp, or on the frontlines of a natural disaster.
Large global demand has been demonstrated.

The Eniware Portable Sterilizer (EPS-V2.0)
The EPS-V2.0 uses novel nitrogen dioxide (NO2) technology to sterilize medical instruments at room temperature while requiring no external energy sources or water for operation. The EPS-V2.0 uses disposable, single-use consumables, an NO2 Gas Generation Module (GGM) and a scrubber that safely absorbs the gas after sterilization is complete. Medical instruments are placed inside the Sterilization Chamber of the EPS-V2.0 allowing sterility to be maintained.
