- Designed to safely contain and maintain the sterility of larger or multiple dental and medical instruments
Uses
- Instrument Sterilization:
- Used to house medium to large-sized clinical instruments (such as forceps, mirrors, and larger surgical tools) during the cleaning cycle
- Sterile Storage:
- Acts as a protective barrier to keep instruments sterile from the moment they leave the autoclave or EtO chamber until they are opened for patient use
- Medical & Dental Settings:
- Ideal for use in hospitals, dental practices, and outpatient clinics
Features
- Dual Chemical Indicators:
- Features both internal and external Class 1 chemical indicators that change color to confirm the pouch has been processed with either Steam or Ethylene Oxide (EtO) gas
- Medical-Grade Construction:
- Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade paper and a blue-tinted transparent film for easy contents identification
- Self-Sealing Design:
- Equipped with a pre-applied adhesive strip that creates a secure, airtight seal without requiring a heat-sealing machine
- Safety Specifications:
- These pouches are lead-free and not made with natural rubber latex, making them safe for sensitive staff and patients
- User-Friendly Details:
- Includes a built-in thumb notch for easy opening and a color-change guide printed on the pouch for quick reference
Benefits
- CDC Compliance:
- The dual-indicator system helps practices meet CDC infection control guidelines by providing visual evidence that sterilization parameters were met
- Durability:
- Features triple-sealed edges to prevent instruments from breaking through the pouch and to ensure the seal does not tear during handling or storage
- Workflow Efficiency:
- The self-seal mechanism and integrated indicators save time and reduce the costs associated with buying separate tape or indicator strips
- Reliability:
- Backed by the Henry Schein Seal of Excellence, ensuring high standards for clinical productivity and patient safety
