Klessidra 2.0
Klessidra 2.0
Klessidra is a special closed-circuit system that prevents the contact between formaldehyde and the user in compliance with the
European Regulation 605/2014. It is ideal for the fixation and the transport of small histologic specimens.
The device consists of two containers in neutral PP:
one, with the yellow lid, prefilled with a buffered solution where the biopsy can be released;
one, with a special double blue lid prefilled with concentrated formalin, to be screwed on the container with the biopsy.
A special double screw lid in blue PE connects the two containers.
The formalin flow between the two containers is possible thanks to two holes on the double lid that are aligned after rotating the two parts of it. The seal is guaranteed by two silicon spheres for the occlusion of the holes and by the conformity with the standard
UNI EN 14254:2004.
The device is provided by a mechanism which prevents the reflux of formalin into the previous container in order to avoid ipofixation problems and the loss of the biopsies. The final formalin concentration is 10%. The product is latex free.
