DISCOVER THE HALYARD* WRAP BALANCE OF PROPERTIES
To achieve the best clinical outcomes, it’s critical to consider ALL industry recommended properties when evaluating a sterilization wrap.

KEEP IN MIND. PERFORMANCE IMPACTS COST.
Make an Informed Decision When Selecting Wrap by Looking at the Big Picture
Consider the balance of properties as well as the total cost of use when evaluating your wrap selection. Choosing a lower quality product based solely on upfront savings can result in increased breaches, wet packs, AND higher costs.
Monitor your budget and factor in any requirements to make your wrap work including:
- Accessories (e.g., corner protectors, OR towels, tray belts)
- Unplanned wrap upgrades (i.e., moving to more expensive, heavier grades for better protection)
Finally, assess organizational impacts (e.g., reprocessing rates, operating room delays) and most importantly, patient outcomes, to see the big picture related to your wrap investment.
For 45 years and counting, HALYARD* has manufactured 100% of its wrap fabric in the U.S. Plus, we offer a recycling program for sustainability.
