Summit Medical, Inc. announces that it has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for sterilization methods on the company's instrument protection trays. These validations ensure that the product will not inhibit sterility of valuable surgical instrumentation. And now, more sterilization cycles mean additional options for hospitals.

Summit’s team of product developers, engineers and field representatives around the country work closely with hospitals to customize trays to meet the preferences of the surgical teams who use them on a daily basis.
