What SteriLog does

SteriLog GmbH is a Germany-based professional services firm specializing in the sterile goods reprocessing cycle (Sterilgutkreislauf) for hospitals, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary within the B. Braun Konzern. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Neuhausen ob Eck, the company serves specialized hospitals and general hospitals (basic to maximum care) across Germany, with affiliated entities in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, and England. Its portfolio is organized around three service pillars: ZSVA-Beratung (consulting covering process analysis, construction planning, QM, coaching, and instrument management software training), ZSVA-Betreibung (operational management including in-house management, joint operating models, and temporary personnel staffing), and ZSVA-Services (instrument set optimization, repair management, value preservation, and on-site training).

The company's underlying technology is centered on the instacount® PLUS software platform, developed by partner INVITEC, which provides documentation of medical device reprocessing, instrument management, and sterile goods tracking in hospital ZSVA environments. SteriLog acts as the implementation and training partner for this platform and layers its own practitioner methodologies on top, drawing on experience running its own ZSVA facilities. The company is DIN EN ISO 13485 certified and supports hospital clients in achieving ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and KTQ accreditation. Its technology stack otherwise includes Adobe Analytics and Salesforce CRM, with no disclosed AI capabilities.

SteriLog monetizes primarily through project-based and multi-year managed-services contracts negotiated per engagement, supplemented by transaction-based repair and service fees (e.g., 15% handling fees capped at EUR 200 per transaction). Go-to-market is relationship-driven and B2B, leveraging the B. Braun/Aesculap referral network, direct field deployment at hospital sites, the company website, and social channels. Customers are exclusively hospital-sector enterprises in German-speaking and select Western European markets.
