Common Questions
Q: How does the 3-wall construction work?
A: The bag features an outer pouch attached to the main specimen compartment. Requisition forms, patient labels, and documentation slide into the outer section while the specimen remains sealed in the inner bag. This prevents fluid contact with paperwork during transport.
Q: What specimens fit in the 6x9 size?
A: This size accommodates standard specimen cups, small sample vials, blood collection tubes, and culture swabs. For larger containers or multiple samples, consider the 8x10 or 10x13 sizes in this product line.
Q: Are these bags autoclavable?
A: No, these LDPE bags are not designed for autoclave sterilization. They are intended for specimen transport and should be disposed of according to your facility's biohazard waste protocols.
