The inventory of sterile packs in the operating room is a tedious and important task, for this reason we have produced colorful numbered reminder clips to facilitate access and inventory by healthcare professionals.

There are two types of colorful clips, red clip and yellow clip, in which the red clip is marked with the number 0 on both sides, which represents the expiration date on that day, and the yellow clip is marked with the number 1 on both sides, which represents the expiration date of one more day.
