3M Attest Instrument Protectors for Sterilization
Protective sleeves placed over delicate surgical instrument tips to prevent peel pouch penetration and instrument damage during sterilization processing.
3M Attest Instrument Protectors are small protective sleeves designed to slip over the sharp or delicate tips of surgical instruments before they are placed into a peel pouch for sterilization. Sharp points and fine tips can puncture or tear the pouch material during handling, transport or the sterilization cycle itself, which risks compromising the sterile barrier and can also damage the instrument tip against packaging or other tools in the tray.
By covering these vulnerable points, the protectors help preserve pouch integrity through the sterilization process and reduce the chance of instruments arriving at the point of use with a torn or breached package that would require reprocessing. This is routine, everyday consumable used by sterile processing technicians packing delicate scissors, needle holders, elevators and other pointed instruments for steam or gas sterilization in hospitals, dental clinics and day surgery centres.
Supplied in packs of one hundred, they support a steady daily workflow in busy central sterile supply departments handling high volumes of packaged trays.
