THIS IS THE SOLUTION WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
“This is the solution we have been waiting for. To be able to ensure there are no cancelled operations due to torn wraps and the sterile field is completely sterile within the pouch is a huge step forward in patient care.”

SAVING US NOT AN UNSUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY
“Tears and wet loads in the transportation of sets is such a problem. These pouches will guarantee the sets are received in good order and eliminate the torn wrap returns saving us not an unsubstantial amount of money and fines.”

PATIENT CARE WILL BE IMPROVED ALONG WITH LARGE COST SAVINGS
“I have recommended to NHS England that this is the system HSDU departments need to adopt. Patient care will be improved along with large cost savings by introducing this system. The fact that a membrane with pores no larger than 0.15 micron is protecting the sterile instruments is a safety factor we cannot ignore.”

INCREASING THE SECURITY OF THE STERILE INSTRUMENTS
“The simplicity of the process in using these pouches will reduce the skill levels needed in preparing sets for the autoclave whilst at the same time increasing the security of the sterile instruments. It cannot be understated the positive effect these will have on SSD departments and Theatres.”

GUARANTEES THE STERILITY OF INSTRUMENTS
“Waste is an ongoing issue in the Trust. To be able to use a reusable product that is recyclable at the end of its life is of great interest to us. The fact it costs less and guarantees the sterility of instruments when presented in theatres makes the system very attractive.”

DEFINITELY THE WAY FORWARD
“We wrap twice to provide a torturous route for any bacteria trying to enter the sterile sets. The outer layer is no guarantee that bacteria hasn’t reached the inner wrap. As this inner wrap is used as a sterile field this may be a serious problem. These pouches will eliminate this threat and is definitely the way forward.”
