Sputocol™ is a patented, self-contained device for collecting,
transporting, and processing sputum and other potentially
infectious specimens. Each unit is individually packed, gamma
sterilized, and includes a unique funnel-stand-base housing,
a freestanding or conical 50 ml centrifuge tube, and a patient
ID label.
The large polyethylene funnel provides a convenient "target"
area. Patients simply expectorate and re-close the funnel
lid. Hospital/lab personnel can prepare the specimen for transport
without ever contacting a contaminated surface area.
The inside edge of the funnel brings specimen directly into
the centrifuge tube and prevents contact with the tube rim.
The funnel's outside edge is extended to provide a safe area
for handling and removing. Pinching the sides of the forked
stand together holds the tube in place during funnel removal.
The bottom lid detaches and functions as a capping device,
so that personnel may avoid touching the tube until sealed.
Extra wide base prevents tipping and provides a protective
carrier for the tube during transit.
Our new polypropylene material is almost transparent and
with stands 6000 x g. Easy-to-read, raised graduations
are 47% larger.
