Holes in sterile wrapping?

Introducing an alternative way to keep instruments sterile.

Damaged wraps are more than just an inconvenience. They can cost hospitals precious time, valuable resources, and even their good reputation.3

Surgeries can be unnecessarily delayed or even cancelled.3

Costs can quickly increase as trays have to be re-sterilized in a repeat of the same time-consuming process.3

Patients may need to be anaesthetized for a longer period of time, increasing risks and prolonging procedures.3

All of this and more can lead to decreased satisfaction in the OR.3

And now think about the extra costs that have resulted from those cancellations.3

And this is not all.

What if the holes are not recognized in the OR?

According to one study, [1] defects with a diameter of ≤ 2 mm were not reliably detected.

That could mean that your patients may suffer from SSIs that could have been avoided.

[4] Ref. Anazor et al.
We can help you to overcome this risk.
