Cost Effective Absorbent Polymers for Medical Waste Disposal
Added: (Mon Aug 25 2008)
ZappaTec’s recent super absorbent polymer, Zaploc, has taken the industry by storm due to the ease of its operations and cost effectiveness. Zaploc is a relatively new product that has been specifically formulated in order to aid hospitals & medical institutions to carry out effective medical waste disposal. It uses a super absorbent polymer blend. Uniquely designed and packaged for operating room (OR) suction canisters, ZapLoc can also be used directly on fluid spills within a hospital, clinic or medical office.
ZapLoc helps in consistently managing patient flow, maximizing OR personnel's time and maintaining a safe work environment. This is one of the biggest ways in which it proves to be cost effective for the users. Another important but overlooked way of maximizing OR efficiency and effectiveness is to reduce surgery clean-up time. Zap loc facilitates easy medical liquid waste disposal in the least possible time, which results in saving time. In conventional methods, properly handling and disposing of suction canister waste can take more than 30 minutes using a traditional suction canister solidifier. Any process that takes more than 5 minutes is too long and can disrupt patient flow. In the long run, it proves to be cost effective for the hospitals as they can now accommodate more patients for the OR in a day than usual. By using ZapLoc, you can be assured that the time and expense associated with suction canister waste will be significantly reduced.
Further, use of ZapLoc aids in medical waste disposal exactly according to the rules put forward by the US government. According to the new regulations, the disposal of suction liners is not possible unless the contents have been solidified. The correct use of ZapLoc ensures that medical waste contained in suction liners will be solidified and disposed off without the need for expensive rigid containers or wrapped in absorbent material. This way, it helps you to adhere to the law and saves you the cost of getting into a prolonged legal procedure.
ZappaTec is the producer of this Medical Waste Solidifier and all products are formulated by an in-house R&D team.
