      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.

      Surgeries can be unnecessarily delayed or even cancelled.

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

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

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

      Take just a moment to consider how many surgeries have been delayed or cancelled because of holes in sterile wraps in your facility.

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

      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.

      Already since 1970 we are recognized for offering an alternative in sterile packaging.

      Today’s challenges in hospitals drove us to take a step ahead in sterile supply management to the next level of efficiency.

      We want to offer you a new alternative in terms of sterile packaging.

      Packing the instruments? Experience the difference.

      All these benefits are great but what’s the bottom line? How much money can be saved in the long run? Let's have a look.
