Stericup® is a sterile, single-use 2.5 ml cooker. Its 5 different colours protect against accidental sharing.
Aims
To promote personal and single use of sterile cookers in order to reduce the risks associated with the preparation of injections:
Promotes aseptic preparation and reduces the risk of bacterial contamination (abscesses, endocarditis…)
Encourages, by its colours, personal identification strategies and reduces the risk of viral transmission (HIV, hepatitis B and C) due to the reuse and sharing of cookers, filters and post-injection swabs.
Each Stericup® individual blister package contains:
One sterile cooker:
Maximum capacity of 2.5 ml, allows to heat solutions up to 1.5 ml easily
Good stability ensured by a plain surface
Alloy of aluminum, which safety has been proven
Due to the material used and its relatively low thickness, the Stericup becomes flimsy after the first use, to prevent from reusing it.
The overmoulded plastic handle:
reduces manipulations before use, and therefore the risk of handborne bacterial contamination, potential source of infections,
protects fingers from burns,
ensures a greater stability.
One sterile cotton filter:
Due to its small size, this cotton filter retains less active drug than cigarette filters and makeshift filters alike.
Its high density ensures an improved filtration efficacy
Encourages single use of sterile filters
One dry post-injection swab:
To compress the vein after injection, for a better healing and to preserve the venous capital.
Absorbs blood and reduces handborne viral transmission
