Keep instruments open during sterilization Cycles?

Gator Instrument Clips prevent instrument jaws from closing during sterilization. Instruments must be in an open position so proper sterilization can be achieved. Instruments in peel pouches, positioned on side edges can cause instrument jaws to close. Exposing instrument surface area during sterilization is critical to ensure sterility. Gator Clips hold instrument jaws open during the sterilization cycle.

Gator Instrument Clips and
Tip Guards are easy to use.

After sliding closed scissor tips into a Gator Tip Guard pouch, open the instrument jaws, and attach each of the Gator Instrument Clip ringlets on each of the instrument’s ring handles.

Gator Tip Guards prevent instrument tips from penetrating sterile pouches, and Gator Instrument Clips hold instruments in an open position so proper sterilization can be achieved.
