For sharp instrument ends
The protector is a silicone cover placed over the end of an instrument. It is an accessory for instrument preparation and packaging, rather than a sterile-barrier system.
Select the protective cover for the particular instrument. The protector does not establish sterility or validate a packaging process, and its use does not replace the applicable handling precautions.
