Available from CATERHAM SURGICAL, the Stopper is a foot and corner shield used on surgical trays to prevent the tearing of sterilisation wrap. Tears, rips and holes are caused by heavy surgical trays with feet on the bottom.
These feet sometimes protrude the wrapping, thus making the tray contaminated and unusable. Surgical trays also have sharp corners even if they are rounded. These corners sometimes rip and tear the sterilisation wrap and, when this occurs, the tray is considered contaminated and must be reprocessed. The Stopper will prevent this from occurring and, in the process, save time, money and frustration. Available in two different styles (the 6100 and 7100), both products are high quality medical devices with the look and feel of a reusable product. However, they are low cost “reposables” and are very economical to use for all surgical trays.
