Green Mesh Bag Keeps Valves and Scopes Together
No more hunting in bins or drawers for the right
endoscope valves. Keep your valves and scopes together with this tough, lightweight, plastic mesh bag from Healthmark Industries that helps ensure the traceability of endoscope components from reprocessing through use. You simply place the valves in the single-use green bag and then tie it to the scope, which secures the valves to their related flexible endoscope.

The Better Way to Pre-Clean Devices
Make reprocessing much easier and more effective with the Pure Station Medical Instrument Pre-Cleaning System from Pure Processing. The first and only portable soaking and irrigating sink system for pre-cleaning fits neatly in an existing processing sink or on countertops. It features an integrated irrigating pump that lets techs easily flush and clear debris from medical devices. This eliminates the time-consuming and challenging need to manually and repetitively push large amounts of water through cannulated devices using a syringe. Pure Station reduces the waste of costly chemicals, and prevents small device components from being lost down the drain.
