Description
The Halyard KimGuard® Quick Check Sterilization Wrap (H200) uses advanced bonded two-color technology to deliver fast, reliable verification of sterile integrity. The blue and white layers are permanently bonded; if a breach occurs, the contrasting color is immediately visible—significantly reducing inspection time and increasing confidence before aseptic presentation.
Classified as H200 (formerly KC200), this wrap is engineered for light to medium-weight trays and incorporates POWERGUARD® technology to achieve 99.9% bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) while remaining breathable for steam and ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization. The 36" x 36" size is a versatile option for general instrument trays, basin sets, and linen packs.
