The C.B.M. container system represents the best choice for modern sterilizing centers. The flexible nature of the extremely large range of available containers offers to the operators an answer for every requirement in matters of packaging and transporting surgical apparatus. C.B.M. is, in fact, the only producer with the capability of proposing such an extensive assortment of dimensions, materials and different filtering systems, as well as a wide selection of accessories, conforming to the quality requirements of European standard regulations.

C.B.M., to manufacture the containers, uses materials thatc onform to the provisions of EN 868 Standards:

-stainless steel (X5 Cr Ni 18/9-10), has hardness and rsistance to oxidizing agents that have been successfully tested for years in the hospital container sector;

-aluminium (alloy 5005) offers thermal capacities and great handiness in movements.
However, while steel does not require any surface protection, aluminiuim, by its nature, needs an anodizing process to make its surfacesteam-proof.
Besides the classical anodizing process (mild/coloured according to which dilferently coloured lids may be obtained, so that the pertaining ward or contents may be more easily identified, C.B.M. uses a hard anodizing process.
Such an electrolytic process produces aluminium oxide on the materiale surface and gives it a higher resistance. Hard anodizing process is suitable for the finishing of items subjet to heavy stresses, such as pistons and internal parts of firearms. It has only one colour darkening proportionally to the increase of oxide, getting a more and more burnished colour.
Thanks to this treatment  the characteristics of lightness and heat capacity of aluminium remain unchanged, while mechanical characteristics improve.
The main parts of the container, body and lid, re pressed into one piece, so that welding is avoided.
In fact welding thermally strains the material and alters the internal structure of the alloy, changing its characteristics in the welding area.
For the same reasons the assembling of the components is carried out through riveting with X5 Cr Ni18/9-10 stainless steel bolts.
Gaskets both on the lid and on the filter block, are in non-toxic silicone.

LEVERS

The C.B.M. lid closure lever offers extremely high guarantees of safe and aseptic opening, as it is not at all necessary to touch the body of the container in order to release and lift the lid in a stable way.

 

 

TAMPER EVIDENCE

To ensure that the container has not been opened after sterilisation until it is ready to be used, the stainless container has a plastic security seal.
This seal, placed before sterilisation, breaks immediately when the lid is raised.

CORNER

The special border worked around the upper edge of the container, made by “Edging” machines, gives the containers added strength.
Moreover, with this technique it is possible to increase the pressure exerted by the lining of the lid, so its resistance to microbes, without damaging the structure of the rubber.
This quality is necessary to eliminate the probability of finding deformations or cuts caused by the stress of transport and stacking.

HANDLES

To facilitate transport and to allow balanced movement our Containers have two central handles, which are very strong yet at the same time comfortable. The stainless steel structure has been created to stand a notable weight that is greater even that the maximum load of the container.
The silicon rubber coating allows for a soft grip and guarantees protection against burns.
The size of the handles mean the finger can easily be inserted and 180° self-stabilising system protects hands from knocks against doorframes.

PLATE HOLDER

The steel containers also have a holder into which a single-use label is inserted, identifying the load, also containing a Class A chemical indicator (EN867-2 norm) which changes colour when the container goes through the sterilisation process.

CLEANING

The markings on the body and the lid and all the parts that make up the Container have been studied in order to facilitate cleaning after every use.
The edge of the body and all the borders have been treated to prevent the lining and the operator from being cut.
