To provide instant visual reassurance that the sterilisation wrap is free from tears, cuts and holes, KIMBERLY-CLARK has developed the One-Step Quick Check.
It works by combining two sheets of thermally bonded wrap – a blue layer and a white layer – so that any breaches in the fabric are easily identifiable. As problems occurring in a single colour wrap might be hard to spot, this new feature saves valuable time in the operating room. The advantages of the breach indicator feature add to the existing time-saving benefits of the KimGuard One Step range which provides the protection of double wrapping in a single step. As a result, One Step users can save up to 49% of time wrapping and opening packages compared to a more conventional sequential wrapping process. All sterilisation wrap in the KimGuard range features the patented PowerGuard Technology which incorporates a stabilised charge in the fibres of the wrap so that the treated fabric captures the bacteria during the sterilisation process. This helps to prevent the bacteria from passing through the fabric on to the sterilised devices and instruments even after being challenged with steam.
