UNIQUELY INNOVATIVE Sputocolis 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.

MINIMAL EXPOSURE

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.

ULTRA-CLEAR POLYPROPYLENE TUBES
