e transport endoscopes
from the procedure
room to the cleaning
room in big Ziploc-like bags. The
disposable bags seal closed like a
sandwich bag to prevent poten-
tial exposure to staff while
transporting soiled
scopes from the
procedure room
to the cleaning
room. They're much
less expensive than
commercial transport
kits, and take up much
less storage space.
