Sterility Maintenance Study

Sterility Maintenance Study

Evaluation of sterilised rigid containers and wrapped instruments to prevent bacterial ingress.

Sterilisation Wrap or Rigid Containers?

A recent study showed – after terminal sterilisation – that 100%1 of the sterilised packaged wrapped in HALYARD* Sterilization Wrap remained sterile whereas 87%1 of rigid sterilisation containers did not maintain sterility through transport and handling. 

An O&M HALYARD* Account Manager can assist you in an analysis of your Central Sterile Services Department needs to gather information in the following key areas: 

  • Inaccurate cross references 
  • Unaccounted for costs (overhead/utilities, Operating Theatre downtime) 
  • Competitive analytics
