BOWA’s range of bipolar and monopolar cables are guaranteed for 300 autoclavings.
Using a combination of silicone on their cables; glass fibre reinforced plugs; and a unique sealing technology to bond them together, the cables are said to significantly reduce typical damage caused by fluid ingress. Martin Watts, a director of CATERHAM SURGICAL, which along with surgical supplier SIGH have the sole UK concession for this popular range of cables, described BOWA cables as extremely durable, with a low cost per unit. “Other leads only warrant 40 or 50 autoclavings,” he said. “Of course every lead should still be checked for damage and continuity prior to packing and autoclaving; the routine protocol of every sterile service department. The 300 autoclaves warranty, however, gives you opportunity to record the amount of times you autoclave the product with your tray tracking system as opposed to the more expensive tag/label system.” BOWA cables are designed for use with most generators on the market.
