Hi Wendy,
Our CSD Manager has indicated that this issue has not been seen at the
RHH. Please see an extract of her email below;
We have not experienced this but I have no information of what type of
wrap they use. Also we use plastic trays to transport wrapped items to
prevent such things as rips and holes, especially heavier trays.
Cheers

Behalf Of Beckingham, Wendy
Currently at the Canberra Hospital we are experiencing problems related
to the surgical wrap developing small holes and splits.
I am wondering has anyone else had issues around this in their CSD or
Operating Rooms. If any one has had this issue I am wondering f you
would share your solution to resolve this.
Would love to hear from you on this matter
