What's included in a "Less Waste" Cannula Pack?
|
In order to reduce sharps waste SwissPlus ID created the double plunger syringe implanter. This means the microchip is delivered in its own sterile cannula (needle) pack, a sterile sealed pouch which includes a protective cap and a set of matching barcodes. In every ZipPack is 30 individually packed sterile screw on cannula together with 3 reusable ergonomic syringe/implanter devices. Post application the cap is re-applied, the cannula is unscrewed and the assembly disposed of into a sharps container This means that the syringe implanter element can be re-used multiple times, reducing waste by 90% |
