ID Instruments With Pre-Printed Labels

Our sterile processing department places pre-printed labels on peel packs and instrument trays, making it easy for all to instantly identify what's inside. We no longer have to deal with questionable penmanship or questionable descriptions when identifying instruments. We pre-print the labels, which come in sheets and are available at any office-supply store. When labels for a particular item start to run low, our reprocessing staff let me know and I print out 5 more sheets. Easy.
