Frequently asked questions

Is the bag made from safe, water-soluble film?

Yes, the Medegen Melt-A-Way bags are constructed from a specialized Polyvinyl alcohol film (PVA).

This technology is central to infection control, allowing for the safe, one-time handling of heavily contaminated linen. The key benefits of this material include:

  • Eliminates Handling: The entire bag and its contents are placed directly into the washer, preventing staff from touching soiled materials.
  • Environmental Safety: The PVA film dissolves quickly during the wash cycle, yielding an environmentally safe solution.
  • Solubility Options: The product is offered in both Cold Water Soluble and Hot Water Soluble variations to match specific laundering requirements.
Are cold and hot water soluble options available?

Yes, these innovative collection bags are available in two specific formulations to match various laundering processes and temperatures. This dual solubility ensures enhanced infection control and eliminates the need for manual handling of contaminated linen.

The bags are constructed from Polyvinyl alcohol film which dissolves completely in the wash to an environmentally safe solution.

The available solubility options are:

  • Cold Water Soluble: Designed to efficiently dissolve during lower temperature washing cycles.
  • Hot Water Soluble: Ideal for cycles that utilize high temperatures, often necessary for rigorous sanitization.
What sizes and solubility types are available?

These biodegradable bags are constructed from a specialized Polyvinyl alcohol film that completely dissolves in the washing machine cycle, ensuring safe, one-time handling of heavily contaminated linen.

The Medegen Melt-A-Way bags are available in several configurations to meet diverse institutional laundering needs:

  • Dimensions (Sizes)
    The bags are offered in five standard dimensions:
    • 18” x 24”
    • 19” x 22”
    • 26” x 33”
    • 28” x 39”
    • 36” x 39”
  • Solubility Type
    You can select the required thermal formulation based on your laundry process:
    • Cold Water Soluble
    • Hot Water Soluble
  • Strength/Grade
    Bags are also available based on required durability:
    • Economy
    • Heavy Duty
Do these bags eliminate linen handling risk?

Yes, these Medegen Melt-A-Way bags are engineered to eliminate manual handling of heavily contaminated or soiled linen, drastically minimizing staff exposure risk and supporting strict infection control protocols.

This hands-free containment is possible due to the construction from a unique, biodegradable Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film which is completely water-soluble.

Contamination Control Process:

  1. Contaminated linen is placed inside the bag and sealed securely.
  2. The entire sealed unit (bag and contents) is placed directly into the commercial washing machine.
  3. The PVA film dissolves completely and quickly during the wash cycle into an environmentally safe solution, allowing the linen to be cleaned without staff ever needing to touch the soiled materials.

These bags are available in both Cold Water Soluble and Hot Water Soluble options to integrate seamlessly with various laundry equipment and cycle requirements.

Are heavy-duty options available?

Yes, these biodegradable linen collection bags are available in both Heavy Duty and Economy strength configurations to meet various operational needs.

  • Heavy Duty Construction: These options are specifically engineered to handle significantly contaminated or bulky materials, providing enhanced material strength and security during transport.
  • Economy Options: These provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for standard, single-use linen containment.

All variants are constructed from Polyvinyl alcohol film, ensuring that the entire bag and its contents can be safely placed directly into the washer where the bag dissolves into an environmentally safe solution.

How are the collection bags packaged?

The Medegen Melt-A-Way bags are packaged in various configurations to accommodate different operational needs, primarily utilizing rolls (rl) and cases (cs).

Specific packaging options include:

  • Rolls (rl): Many variants are configured with 25 bags per roll.
  • Cases (cs): Standard case packing often includes 4 rolls per case (totaling 100 bags).
  • High-Volume Cases: For large volume users, certain options are packaged with up to 1000 bags per case.
  • Pallet Quantity: Some economy variants are available in bulk, bundled as 100 cases per pallet (plt).
Are these bags suitable for contaminated linen?

Yes, these Medegen Melt-A-Way bags are specifically engineered for the one-time handling of heavily contaminated linen.

They significantly enhance safety and infection control by eliminating the need for staff to manually handle soiled textiles.

Key features include:

  • Complete Water Soluble Disposal: The entire bag (made from Polyvinyl alcohol film) and its contents can be placed directly into the washer. The film dissolves quickly into an environmentally safe solution.
  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces staff exposure risks associated with contaminated laundry.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for healthcare settings, laboratories, or any environment requiring stringent infection control protocols.
Do these biodegradable bags dissolve completely?

Yes, the Medegen Melt-A-Way Linen Collection Bags are specifically designed to dissolve completely during the laundering process, which is their primary safety and hygiene feature.

Key details regarding the dissolution process:

  • Material: The bags are constructed from Polyvinyl alcohol film, a biodegradable material.
  • Safety Feature: The entire bag and its heavily contaminated contents can be placed directly into the washer. The film dissolves quickly, eliminating the need for staff to manually handle soiled linen and significantly reducing exposure risks.
  • Environmental Impact: Upon dissolution, the material breaks down into an environmentally safe solution.
  • Versatility: You can choose the bags based on your facility’s requirements, as they are available in both Cold Water Soluble and Hot Water Soluble options.
Are these water-soluble bags environmentally safe?

Yes, these Medegen Melt-A-Way bags are designed to be environmentally safe and eliminate plastic waste from the laundry process. This system enhances safety by ensuring staff never need to handle contaminated materials.

Here are the key features related to their disposal:

  • Material: The bags are constructed from Polyvinyl alcohol film (PVA), a material that is both water-soluble and biodegradable.
  • Dissolution: When placed directly into the washing machine, the film dissolves quickly and completely in the water (hot or cold, depending on the variant).
  • Environmental Safety: The resulting solution is environmentally safe, ensuring no physical plastic residue is left behind after the washing cycle.
Do the linen collection bags come pre-sealed?

No, the Medegen Melt-A-Way collection bags are not pre-sealed.

These bags are designed as a single-use containment solution for heavily contaminated linen. To ensure safety and contamination control, they require manual sealing:

  • Manual Closure: After filling, the user must secure or tie the bag opening to safely contain the soiled contents during transport.
  • Safe Laundering: Once properly sealed, the entire bag (along with the contents) can be introduced directly into the washing machine.
  • Dissolution: The water-soluble Polyvinyl alcohol film rapidly dissolves in the wash cycle, eliminating the need for staff to ever touch the contaminated items again.
