About Sterra Health

Phones are part of the workday.
Sterra helps keep them covered.

Sterra Health was created after seeing how often phones are used in healthcare environments and how little protection they usually have.

Phones sit on desks, move through work areas, and get handled throughout the day.

They are part of the job, but they are not always easy to keep covered without slowing people down or changing how staff already work.

Sterra Health makes disposable covers for desk phones and smartphones. They are simple to put on, easy to replace, and made for the phones staff use every day.

Every product is designed around one question: would this make sense during a real shift? If it adds confusion, slows people down, or gets in the way, it does not belong.

Even when cleaning is part of the routine, phones can still be missed. Sterra was built to help solve that gap with something simple, visible, and practical.

Designed around how clinicians actually work.

Passive Protection

No extra cleaning steps. No protocol changes. Protection is built directly into the workflow. Put it on, use it, discard it.

Full Device Functionality

Touchscreen, Face ID, camera, and all controls remain fully accessible. Nothing about how staff use their devices changes.

Visible Compliance

Every patient encounter shows a fresh cover. Staff and patients can both see that protection is in place, with no guesswork needed.

"

The goal is straightforward: products that fit into clinical routines without interrupting them.
