Healthmark Industries announces the introduction of the new Green Mesh Valve Bag. This tough, lightweight, plastic mesh bag helps ensure the traceability of critical endoscope components from reprocessing through use by keeping the valves and scope together. Simply place the valves in the bag and then tie to the scope, thus securing the valves to their related flexible endoscope.
By using this product the time spent hunting in bins or drawers for the right valves will be reduced. Once in the procedure room, remove the valves and place on the scope and dispose of this inexpensive, single-use bag. For enhanced security and traceability, add one of Healthmarks tamper evident seals and HangTime Labels.
