Hu-Friedy has developed a new lead-free and latex-free monitor tape for the labelling of wrapped instrument cassettes. The environmentally friendly monitor tape eliminates the risk of lead contamination and protects patients and users who suffer from latex allergies.

The user can note down additional information (eg the sterilisation date and cassette contents) on the tape and it also serves as a reliable process indicator. Black stripes appear on the tape after the cassette has been autoclaved. This effectively rules out any confusion with cassettes which have not been sterilised. As it contains neither lead nor latex, the monitor tape is easily disposable after use. Contact info@hufriedy.eu for more information.
