Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MEDEGEN MEDICAL PRODUCTS from 3G Electric.
What are the available closure types for Medegen specimen transfer bags?
Medegen specimen transfer bags are offered with two closure mechanisms: adhesive strips and zipper seals. Adhesive closure bags, such as SKU 246A47 and SKU 246A02, use a peel-and-seal strip to secure contents. Zipper closure bags, such as SKU 246A37 and SKU 246A72, feature a press-to-close track. Both types are single-pouch designs and are intended for one-time use. The choice between adhesive and zipper depends on user preference and the specific handling protocol. All bags include a printed Biohazard legend.
What thickness options are available for Medegen specimen transfer bags?
Most Medegen specimen transfer bags in the 3G Electric catalog have a thickness of 1.75 mil. This includes SKUs 246A37, 246A47, 246A02, 246A41, 246A72, 246A36, and 246A46. One model, SKU 245T40, is manufactured with a 2.99 mil thickness, providing a heavier-gauge option for applications requiring additional puncture or tear resistance. Thickness is specified in mils (thousandths of an inch) and is a key factor in bag durability during transport and handling.
Are Medegen specimen transfer bags sterile?
No. The Medegen specimen transfer bags listed by 3G Electric are non-sterile. They are intended for containment and transport of specimens and biohazardous materials, not for sterile field applications. If a sterile specimen container is required, a different product category should be selected. The non-sterile designation is clearly indicated in the product specifications for each SKU.
What is the purpose of the Biohazard legend on Medegen transfer bags?
The Biohazard legend is a printed symbol and text that identifies the bag contents as potentially infectious or biohazardous. This marking is required by various regulatory standards for the transport of biological specimens and waste. Medegen specimen transfer bags include this legend to facilitate compliance with safe handling and disposal protocols. The legend is printed on the bag surface and remains visible during use. It does not indicate that the bag itself provides any additional barrier properties beyond the LDPE film.
What case quantities are available for Medegen specimen transfer bags?
Medegen specimen transfer bags are supplied in cases containing 1,000 bags. This packaging quantity is consistent across the SKUs listed by 3G Electric, including both clear and red variants and all closure types. The 1,000-count case is suitable for high-volume clinical laboratories, hospitals, and research facilities. For smaller quantities, please contact 3G Electric to discuss availability.
Can Medegen specimen transfer bags be used for biohazardous waste?
Yes. Medegen specimen transfer bags are designed for containment of biological specimens and biohazardous waste. Red bags, such as SKU 246A36 and SKU 246A37, are often used to distinguish biohazardous waste from other materials. Clear bags are also available for specimen transport where color coding is not required. All bags feature the Biohazard legend and are made from LDPE. They are intended for single use and should be disposed of according to applicable waste management regulations.
