Clinical Theatre Wrap

Typical operating room featuring “Wrap”

• Clinical “Wrap” is a non-woven polypropylene sterile wrap that is used to maintain the sterility of instruments and equipment and also as bed sheets and covers in the operating theatre.

• In US hospitals 2.2 billion Kgs of medical waste is generated each year and 20% of all operating theatre waste is Clinical “Wrap”. An average sized hospital with six operating theatres and treatment rooms will generate approximately 100 Kgs of “Wrap” material a day which is currently being disposed of by incineration and/or landfill.

TCG Ltd- Future Projects and Solutions

• An exciting potential future development of our machine is to volumetrically reduce and sterilise other common plastics, such as Sharps, Sharps Bins, Fluid

Containers and Irrigation bottles which are used to dispense fluids and drugs to patients. These containers form a much larger waste stream than “Wrap”

material and have the same adverse high volume to low weight ratio characteristics that clinical “Wrap” has.
