SINGLE-USE STERILE MULTIFUNCTION HOOK AND SLEEVE

Gaston sterile instruments, multifunction hook and protective sleeve, are supplied together as single use devices and offer the following benefits:

Potential reduction of the risk of non-sterile instrument occurrences (estimated cost  for a single surgical site infection in USA has been $25,500);[1]
Potential reduction of surgery cancellation or delay: they are always ready, sterile and brand new;
Removal of wear and tear risks.
