Sustainability

Better for you, better for the planet

It might seem counterintuitive that a larger device saves plastic, but the secret is in the accuracy.

Over time, Peezy Midstream prevents thousands of pounds (and lbs) of medical plastic waste from entering landfills and reduces the overall footprint of your routine healthcare.

Peezy Midstream is made from Polypropylene, which is recyclable. In clinical settings all items soiled with clinical waste are disposed of in yellow bins for incineration; Peezy Midstream emits no toxins when disposed of in this way.

Because Peezy Midstream collects into the lab-compatible 10ml tube it dispenses with the need for any other vessel, often given to patients to make collection easier before decanting takes place.

By getting a right-first-time high-quality sample, Peezy Midstream reduces the need for re-tests and repeat appointments which add to the patient’s travel and inconvenience.

The Sustainability Fact

Peezy Midstream reduces retesting and false positive urine specimens by up to 30% thereby minimising the use of other single-use items. Each time a test is repeated it requires additional use of:

– collection vessel
– new collection tube
– new transport bag
– new rubber gloves
– all single use consumables required for culture in the laboratory
– additional fuel and resources for laboratory couriers

Using Peezy Midstream provides a net benefit to the healthcare system of single-use diagnostic consumables.
