Comments

Fairmont Medical’s Disposable Telepac provides protective, sterilisation packaging for medical telescopes used in hospital operating theatres. This unique design has made a previously unproductive process, significantly efficient. The Telepac protects the difficult, irregular shapes of delicate, expensive medical telescopes that are ever-present in today’s hospitals. The tamper evident labelling ensures the sterilisation status, date and tracking of this equipment. The polypropylene (PP) construction withstands the high temperatures required during sterilisation and is 100% recyclable. The square end-section prevents rolling and breakages during use and allows for stacking. When required in theatre, the concertina storage tube can be retracted to expose the telescope for easy removal. The Telepac has provided a revolutionary change in the way telescopes are treated, transported, stored and used. It also saves time and money in an industry where these factors are incredibly important.
