Healthmark Industries announces the new Window Style Tip Protector to its ProSys™ Instrument Care product line. Certain medical devices and instruments are more delicate than others, and thus require equally delicate care and reprocessing practices.
The single-use Window Style Tip Protector is designed for protection of small sharp and fragile surgical instruments during the sterilization process. Manufactured from paper, the 50 x 125 mm Window Style Tip Protectors come with a 32mm wide slot for placement of instruments and features a transparent polyethylene pouch that secures the tip of the instrument in place to prevent from sliding around or out. The Window Style Tip Protectors are heat resistant up to 275 degrees F and available for purchase in a box of 100.
