Medical supplies under wraps at the Air Force Academy - Tig bits: best practices from the field - Brief Article

David Lane

At the Air Force Academy, Colo, the 10th Medical Support Squadron uses a shrink-wrapping machine to "bind like items together, and create custom packaging.

The shrink-wrapping eliminates having to separate surgical instrument and other specific supplies from bulk storage and protects medications. The time and money saved during inventories and deployment processing have been susbstantial, due to the decrease in lost and damaged supplies and equipment. Inventories are now more efficient; supplies and delicate instruments are protected from internal and external damage (crushing and exposure to the elements), and hazardous materials are now contained.
