About Medizone International, Inc.
Medizone International, Inc. is focused on commercializing the AsepticSure® system, a superior disinfectant technology compared to conventional systems or practices. The company developed the AsepticSure® system to combine oxidative compounds (O3 and H202) to produce a unique mixture of free radicals (H2O3 known as trioxidane) with much higher oxidative potential than ozone or hydrogen peroxide alone. After securing broad IP protection for the use of trioxidane for both healthcare and non-healthcare facility disinfecting systems and bioterrorism applications, Medizone released its AsepticSure® system for use in Canada, and several other global markets.
