Protect instruments while waiting cleaning by maintaining a moist and humid environment! A brand new innovation to assist where immediate cleaning of surgical instruments is not possible. The Humipak is a patented method for preventing the drying out of protein on instruments whilst awaiting cleaning aimed at meeting the requirements of HTM01-01.
Each Humipak pouch consist of two layers of film, with a highly absorbent material sandwiched between them and sealed to create a moisture retaining pouch. To use, simply add a specified amount of water to the pouch, seal and leave to await manual cleaning in the CSSD.
Clinipak currently offers two designs in the Humipak range. The initial range consists of 2 large pouches, sized to hold either a ‘DIN’ or ‘half-DIN’ sized basket. When sealed using the self-seal strip, the pouch will retain a moist atmosphere for over 7 days. The second design consists of 2 multi-pocketed pouches, one with 7 pockets and one with 4. Once used, the pockets will maintain a humid environment for up to 48 hours.
- The transparent film, in addition to maintaining the moist atmosphere, allows the contents to be clearly observed including any written instructions or contents list, making it convenient for checking that all items listed are contained within the pack
- Contaminants are contained within the Humipak reducing the risk of transmission
- The sealed packs act as security bags confirming all the contents have been returned
- The inner absorbent layer on the pocketed Humipak’s provide protection for delicate instruments while preventing any residue from drying. This product is available with four or seven pockets
