Sterilisation Packaging
SPSmedical offers a wide selection of disposable CSR Wrap and Sterility
Maintenance Bags. Indicator tapes are available for most common sterilization
processes, along with a proprietary LoopPlus® Banding System designed
to eliminate adhesive tape problems and save money for facilities doing
large volume packaging.
Disposable Wrap
Blue nonwoven CSR wrap can be used for packaging instrument trays and
materials. Use with Steam, EO gas, Chemical vapor or Radiation sterilization.
Independent
Lab Report documents how this product offers an excellent barrier to
airborne bacteria, repellency to water, OR fluids and alcohol when
compared to reusable
muslin wraps. Made of natural fiber-based materials (i.e. wood pulp),
each sheet is biodegradable and does not emit odors, toxic waste
or other residues
when incinerated. Excellent product for use with table-top sterilizers
which can have temperature spikes.
Indicator Tapes
Individually packaged, our multiparameter autoclave tape can be used
with disposable or reusable wrappers. Available in 3 widths for Steam and
3/4" width for EO gas, Dry heat or Chemical vapor processes.
Sterility Maintenance Bags
Self-seal and Heat-seal Dust Covers are for use as a "sterility maintenance" bag
after packs have been processed and properly cooled. Strong 3 mil polyolifin
plastic protects against dust, moisture and airborne contaminants. Each
SPSmedical Dust Cover is clear in design to provide 100% visibility of
packs. Low-slip, polyolifin plastic material minimizes sliding during sterile
storage. Built in "linear tear" feature makes opening each Dust
Cover a simple task.
LoopPlus System®
This "new technology" banding machine is designed to secure packs
before, during and after sterilization. Using a patented design, the LoopPlus
banding machine automatically tensions, seals and cuts a LoopStrap around
a pack in seconds, thus eliminating the need for autoclave tape. Increase
worker productivity, save money and eliminate autoclave tape "adhesive
damage" that can occur with reusable wrappers. LoopStrap is 1/4" x
2,500 ft. (762 meters) per roll.
