Description

The Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield (#900221AA / Box of 100) is renewed with each procedure. It acts as an insulator to prevent the cryosurgical tips from adhering to tissue in unwanted areas. The shield also assures proper attachment of the tip by serving as a positive stop, provided tabs on shield are correctly fitted into grooves on the metal tip.

Warranty: Until Use or Expiration.

Utilized by the popular LL100, LLCO2, and WA1000B Cryosurgical Systems, these cryotips offer the ultimate in safety and convenience. The disposable shield removes from cryotips easily, allowing the cryotips to be sterilized. Avoid soaking tips which may lead to problems caused by oversoaking (oversoaking may lead to tip corrosion).

Setup:

  • Remove disposable shield from cryotip and discard.
  • Plug cryotip before cleaning and sterilizing.
  • Scrub tip to remove blood and particles.
  • Rinse with water.
  • Steam sterilize cryotip.
  • Follow manufacturer's directions for appropriate sterilization.
  • Attach new disposable plastic shield to the cryotip.
  • Cryotip is now ready to use.

Frequently asked questions

How many disposable shields are provided per box?

Each box contains 100 units of the Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield, providing ample inventory for high-throughput clinical settings.

These disposable shields are essential single-use components that serve a dual purpose:

  • They act as a crucial insulator to prevent cryosurgical tips from adhering to unintended surrounding tissue.
  • They serve as a positive stop to ensure accurate placement and secure attachment of the cryotip.
Which cryosurgical systems are these shields compatible with?

The Wallach Disposable Plastic Shields are specifically designed for use with certain Wallach Cryosurgical Systems.

They are compatible with the following models:

  • LL100
  • LLCO2
  • WA1000B
How does the shield confirm proper tip attachment?

The Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield is designed to ensure accurate and secure attachment through its Positive Stop Function.

This crucial mechanism operates as follows:

  • Engagement: The shield features tabs that are precisely fitted into grooves located on the metal cryotip.
  • Confirmation: This engagement acts as a positive stop, which physically assures the proper seating and alignment of the cryotip before the cryosurgical procedure begins. This confirmation is vital for procedural accuracy and patient safety.
Does the disposable shield allow for easy cryotip sterilization?

Yes, the disposable design of the plastic shield ensures it can be easily removed from the metal cryotip. This feature is a key selling point, allowing for effective and complete sterilization of the cryotips after each procedure.

Is the disposable shield made of plastic?

Yes, the Wallach Disposable Shield is made of plastic and is designed strictly for single-use applications. This component performs two essential functions:

  • Tissue Protection: It acts as an insulator to prevent the cryosurgical tip from adhering to surrounding, unintended tissue.
  • Positive Stop: It ensures the cryotip is correctly attached by acting as a positioning stop.

The disposable nature allows for the reusable metal cryotips to be easily removed for proper cleaning and steam sterilization after use. Each box contains 100 units.

Does the shield prevent tissue adherence?

Yes, tissue isolation is the primary function of the Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield. It is specifically designed to act as a crucial insulator during cryosurgical procedures, preventing the extremely cold cryotip from unintentionally adhering to adjacent tissue areas.

This single-use shield provides two key benefits for safety and efficiency:

  • Tissue Protection: Actively prevents the cryosurgical tip from sticking to non-target tissue.
  • Positive Stop: Features tabs that fit into grooves on the cryotip, confirming proper attachment and ensuring correct positioning when used with compatible Wallach Cryosurgical Systems (including LL100, LLCO2, and WA1000B).

Because the shield is disposable, it is removed and discarded after each procedure, significantly simplifying hygiene and facilitating the necessary steam sterilization of the reusable cryotip component.

Does the shield ensure proper tip positioning?

Yes, the Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield is essential for accurate placement and safety, thanks to its unique design features:

  • Positive Stop Mechanism: Tabs on the shield fit into the grooves of the reusable cryotip, acting as a positive stop to confirm that the tip is correctly and securely attached.
  • Tissue Isolation: It functions as a critical insulator, actively preventing the cryosurgical tip from adhering to unintended tissue areas during the procedure.
Does this shield provide essential tissue isolation?

Yes, the Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield is an essential accessory designed to maximize safety and precision during cryosurgery by providing two key benefits:

  • Tissue Isolation and Insulation: The primary function is to act as a crucial insulator, actively preventing the cryosurgical tip from adhering or sticking to surrounding tissue in unwanted areas.
  • Positive Stop Mechanism: The shield features tabs that fit into the cryotip grooves, serving as a positive stop to guarantee the tip is correctly positioned and securely attached.

This single-use shield is designed for use with compatible Wallach cryosurgical systems, including the LL100, LLCO2, and WA1000B models, and is supplied in boxes of 100 units.

What is the primary function of the shield?

The primary function of the Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield is to serve as both an insulator and a positioning guide for cryosurgical tips. It prevents the cryosurgical tips from adhering to unintended tissue areas and ensures correct cryotip attachment.

Is this product factory new?

Yes, the Wallach Disposable Plastic Shield is Factory New and is supplied by CooperSurgical.
