Absorbent Sleeves For Infectious Substance Category B Exempt Biological Material

AIC® Absorbent Sleeves for Infectious Substance Category B Exempt Biological Material

Product Description

This absorbent sleeve is widely used for the safe packaging and transportation of biohazardous materials, which can effectively absorb leaked or spilled liquids to prevent possible contamination or disease transmission. They are usually made of highly absorbent materials, which can lock liquids and prevent secondary leakage during transportation. The detailed analysis of Absorbent Sleeves for Infectious Substance Category B is as follows:

Definition and Use

Definition: Absorbent Sleeves for Infectious Substance Category B is a specially designed protective packaging material used to contain and transport infectious substances classified as Category B. These sleeves are usually made of highly absorbent materials, which can absorb and retain spilled liquids to prevent contamination and disease transmission.

Use: These absorbent sleeves are mainly used for the transportation of biological specimens, medical waste, pathogen cultures, etc. They can absorb leaks when the container is broken or the seal fails, reducing environmental pollution and infection risks.

Material and Construction

Absorbent Materials: These sleeves are usually made of non-woven fabric materials such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), with superabsorbent polymers (such as sodium polyacrylate) interlayers, which can quickly absorb and lock large amounts of liquids.

Structural design: Designed as a cylindrical structure, one end is closed and the other end is open, which is convenient for wrapping sample containers. Its structure is designed to provide sufficient mechanical strength and durability to prevent damage during transportation.

Performance characteristics

High absorbency: It can absorb liquids up to several times its own weight to ensure that it does not leak even under extreme conditions.
Leak-proof design: Heat sealing technology is used to build a firm closed edge to prevent the absorbed liquid from leaking out.

Chemical inertness: The material is chemically stable and will not react with most chemicals and biological samples to ensure sample integrity.

Specifications and standards

International standards: It complies with the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on the transportation of dangerous goods, and is applicable to infectious substances of Category B.

Regulatory compliance: Comply with relevant regulations such as the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure safe and legal transportation.

Practical application

Medical transportation: Hospitals and clinics often use this type of absorbent sleeve to transport blood samples, biological products, etc.
Research field: Research institutions also use this type of product when transporting pathogens or other research-related biological samples.
Commercial Applications: Biotech and pharmaceutical companies also choose this absorbent sleeve to ensure safe transportation when shipping sensitive or hazardous biological products.

In summary, Absorbent Sleeves for Infectious Substance Category B are important packaging materials specially designed for the safe transportation of Category B infectious substances. Through their high absorbency and leak-proof design, these sleeves effectively reduce the risk of contamination during transportation and ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
