"It's a no-brainer" - Vacuum packing system eliminates damaged tray wrap at Europe’s ‘largest’ decontamination unit.

Cowlairs, in Glasgow, possibly Europe’s largest decontamination unit, has cut damaged tray wrap to zero by using BES Decon’s vacuum packing system, VacioPak, manufactured by Entrhal Medical of Germany, and is enjoying the huge benefits this has delivered. 

“With the average cost to reprocess a tray standing at £41, on those previous 844 instances we’ve already saved £34,604. Each cancelled operation costs on average £13,000, and there were three due to damaged tray wrap during the similar period, so that’s a further £39,000 saving. So the total saving in less than a year is already £67,604", says Ian Finlayson.
