about 200 containers. We are not alone in using rigid container sys-
tems more often than not. As you can see in "Blue Wrap or Sterile
Containers?" on page 66, more than half (54%) of the 255 readers
Outpatient Surgery Magazine surveyed last month place their ster-
ile packs in contain-
ers at least 50% of the
time.
Torn-wrapper
syndrome
Besides efficiency and
eliminating the use of
towels, tape and wrap,
our primary reason for
switching to contain-
ers was to avoid "torn-
wrapper syndrome." In
the last few years, the
instrument sets we
reprocess have super-
sized. They've gotten
heavier, bigger and
sharper — especially
the orthopedic equip-
ment we primarily
handle. Gone are the
trays with soft edges
that were easy to
wrap. Now it's heavy
sets with jagged edges.
