COVID-19 has created new challenges for the medical sector over the past 12 months and made even the swiftest processes more difficult for medical staff. As a leading specialist in sterile goods logistics, Hupfer knows the importance of maintaining a sterile environment for storage solutions, as well as for hygienic disposal procedures. Hupfer products not only help meet the challenges of an increased range of obligations but can also optimise established processes through their range of products.
To further assist in sterilisation efforts in the medical sector at this time, Hupfer’s Känguruh-System has numerous advantages and provides the technical assistance necessary to make the sterile goods cycle run more smoothly and efficiently.
Why use the Känguruh-System to aid sterilisation procedures?
The Känguruh-System is used to move the sterile goods in containers or in soft packaging and baskets from the sterilisation area to the operating theatre transfer point. The real key feature is that the packaged sterile goods are located in a push-in rack which is locked inside the transport trolley.
After docking, this locking arrangement is easily released using a hand-operated lever, and the push-in rack is pushed onto the transfer trolley. Optimal separation of the sterile and non-sterile areas is guaranteed and the sterile goods do not need to be rearranged individually. After this transfer procedure, the sterile goods can then be transported further, put into intermediate storage or prepared for use.
Reliability and efficiency of the Känguruh-System
The safe and reliable handling of sterile goods was always kept in view throughout the development and enhancement of the Hupfer Känguruh-System. In order to improve efficiency and performance and to facilitate and rationalise handling, Hupfer also looked at the entire sterile goods cycle. It came to be understood that the storage, intermediate storage and provision of sterile goods always form significant parts of the whole area of sterile goods logistics.
The Hupfer Känguruh-System offers unprecedented potential for efficiency and performance by precisely matching its individual components to the requirements of clinics, hospitals and sterilisation establishments. This system makes it possible to achieve a closed sterile goods cycle for an unbroken process chain in the area of sterile goods logistics.
