Getinge Waterproof Sterilizer Pens are professional-grade marking instruments specifically designed for labeling sterilization pouches, indicator tapes, and CSR wraps. These pens are engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of various sterilization cycles without fading, bleeding, or compromising the integrity of the packaging material.
Key Features
-
Sterilization Stable: The ink is formulated to remain legible after exposure to high-pressure steam, dry heat, and chemical vapors (such as Ethylene Oxide or Formaldehyde).
-
Waterproof & Smear-Proof: Once dry, the ink is resistant to moisture and condensation, which is common during the cooling phase of a steam sterilization cycle.
-
Non-Toxic Ink: Specifically designed for medical environments; the ink does not contain heavy metals or toxic chemicals that could leach through the packaging or contaminate the instruments.
-
Fine Tip Precision: Usually features a fine or ultra-fine tip to allow for detailed writing of dates, load numbers, and staff initials in the small designated areas of a sterilization pouch.
-
Quick-Drying: The rapid-dry formula prevents accidental smudging during the labeling process, ensuring documentation remains professional and readable.
Clinical Indications
-
Package Documentation: Essential for recording the sterilization date, sterilizer number, cycle number, and the initials of the operator as part of a standard infection control log.
-
Instrument Tracking: Used to label the contents of wrapped trays or pouches to ensure the correct set is selected for a procedure.
-
Indicator Tape Labeling: Marking on autoclave tape to identify specific loads or internal department destinations.
