Presentation

The Sterifilt BASIC is a sterile, single use filter that eliminates virtually all impurities from a solution before its injection.

Aims and characteristics:

Sterifilt BASIC is a polypropylene membrane filter. It is compatible with almost all syringes with attached needle and with all Luer syringes (1 ml, 2 ml, 5 ml…).

Its principal aims are:

• To reduce risks associated with the injection of insoluble particles such as abscesses, phlebitis, "dirty hits”, embolism, oedema and pulmonary complications…
  
  • Eliminates over 90% of all insoluble particles of over 5 µm and over 93% of all particles larger than 10 µm

• To encourage single and personal use of filters, which reuse and sharing play an important role in infections by micro-organisms and viral transmission:
  
  • The Sterifilt BASIC retains five times less drug than a cotton filter, reducing filter-reuse and sharing
    
  • Its membrane obstructs after use, minimising the risk of reuse

• To preserve the venous capital
  
  • The Sterifilt BASIC protects the tip of the needle and prevents it from hitting the bottom of the spoon

• To encourage aseptic preparation
  
  • The filter is sterile
  • Its packaging is conceived to avoid touching, and thus contaminating the membrane with the hands
