Description
The Halyard KimGuard® Quick Check Sterilization Wrap (KC200) is an industry-standard CSR wrap engineered for sequential sterilization wrapping. Its patented two-color bonded technology combines blue and white layers to deliver immediate visual verification of package integrity—any breach is instantly visible if the opposite color shows through.
Designed for light to medium instrument trays, this wrap uses POWERGUARD® technology to provide an exceptional microbial barrier while allowing efficient penetration of steam and ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization. The 24" x 24" size is ideal for small trays, basin sets, and linen packs.
Identification
Product Identifier: KimGuard® Quick Check Sterilization Wrap (KC200)
Product Code: 34174

Key Benefits
-
Instant Inspection: High-contrast blue/white layers enable rapid detection of holes or abrasions (up to 95% faster inspection).
-
Superior Barrier: Electrostatic meltblown fibers achieve 99.9% BFE for microbial protection.
-
Strength & Low Lint: Tear-resistant, low-lint fabric protects instruments and reduces particulate risk.
-
Time-Saving: Bonded layers allow simultaneous wrapping, eliminating separate double-wrapping steps.
-
Sterilization Compatibility: Suitable for Pre-vacuum Steam and EO cycles.
Applications
-
Wrapping small instrument trays for sterilization
-
Sterilizing basins, bowls, and light linen packs
-
Maintaining sterility during storage and transport
Usage Guidelines
-
Sizing: 24" x 24" fits small trays and packs; choose larger sizes for broader coverage without stretching.
-
Wrapping: Use standard envelope or square fold techniques; secure with sterilization indicator tape.
-
Inspection: Before use, verify no opposite-color show-through indicating compromise.
-
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area away from moisture and direct light.
-
Disposal: Recycle as #5 Polypropylene where programs exist; otherwise dispose per facility policy.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
-
FDA Cleared: 510(k) for indicated sterilization modalities
-
AAMI / ISO 11607: Compliant for terminally sterilized medical device packaging
-
Flame Resistance: Meets NFPA Class 1 standards
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with single-color SMS wraps, Quick Check provides immediate defect visualization that reduces missed breaches. Its POWERGUARD® construction offers superior tensile strength and microbial barrier performance versus standard SMS alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
-
Central Sterile Processing Department (CSPD) technicians
-
OR nurses responsible for sterile prep
-
Dental clinics and ambulatory surgery centers
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
-
Do not use wraps that are wet, stained, or damaged.
-
Avoid dragging wrapped trays to prevent abrasion.
-
Allow packs to cool and dry fully post-sterilization to prevent condensation (“wet packs”).
