Say Goodbye To
Wrapping Loaner Trays!
Streamline the SPD Sterilization Process
SteriCUBE Sterilization Cabinets bring efficiency to the Sterile Processing Department by allowing vendor trays, or all the instruments, for a surgery to be sterilized and delivered as one unit.
The Old Way. The Slow Way.
Traditionally, instrument trays are sterile-processed separately in rigid containers or laboriously enveloped in “blue wrap”.
After surgery, instruments are cleaned and put in trays
Trays are blue-wrapped or put in containers
Trays are sterilized in autoclaves
Trays are cooled and sent to surgery

It’s Not Surprising
Many Trays Are Rejected Due To Holes
Whereas
The SteriCUBE®
Sterilizes and Delivers
All Trays For A Surgery As
1 Unit
SteriCUBE® Solves
