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, through its expanding distributor network.  The AsepticSure^® System is EPA-approved, received the CE mark and is currently pursuing FDA 510(k) registration.
