The CliniEco stocking line for specimen bags and head covers exists to solve one small daily problem: a clinic or lab should not have to choose between a transport bag that fails at the dock and a cap that will not stay on a nurse who is moving. We hold the specimen transport bags in four pressure-rated sizes plus a three-wall format, and the head covers in a non-woven bouffant cut and a scrub cap. This is how those two lines are chosen, checked and kept on the shelf.
What specimen bag sizes sit in the stocking line?
The range follows the load, not the shelf. A single tube travels in the smallest bag, a requisition and two tubes need the next size up, and bulky or multi-site runs take the larger formats. Holding four sizes means a lab can match the bag to the specimen instead of folding a large bag around a single tube, which is how seals get strained.
| Specimen bag | What it typically carries | Format |
|---|---|---|
| 6 x 9 inch | One tube with room for the slip | 95 kPa, pressure rated |
| 7 x 11 inch | Two tubes plus requisition | 95 kPa, pressure rated |
| 8 x 10 inch | Larger or multiple containers | 95 kPa, pressure rated |
| 12 x 15 inch | Bulk or tissue runs | 95 kPa, pressure rated |
| 6 x 9 inch, three wall | Higher-absorbency single shipments | Three-wall construction |
Which head covers does the line carry?
Two formats cover most of what Canadian clinics and care homes order. The non-woven bouffant cap at 24 inches has a gathered elastic edge, which suits longer hair and a full shift on a busy unit. The scrub cap is the lighter option for a shorter shift or a tighter room. Both are single-use, and both are packed in counts that match how a storeroom issues them.
How are these lines checked before they are stocked?
Each shipment is checked against the same short list: bag seal and pressure rating, absorbent placement, the documentation pocket, and for head covers the elastic edge and the packed count. A line that fails the seal check does not go on the shelf. The check is deliberately plain, because a storeroom needs a routine it can run in a minute, not a procedure it skips on a busy Monday.
The same discipline covers the head covers. A bouffant cap is checked for a gathered edge that still grips after it leaves the bag, and for a packed count that matches the case label. When a unit runs through caps faster than bags, the reorder rhythm for the two lines diverges, so the shelf audit tracks them separately even though a clinic orders them together.
Who orders specimen bags and head covers together?
Mostly the same buyers: diagnostic labs, veterinary practices and care homes that ship specimens out and dress a team each morning. CliniEco Medical is a licensed medical device establishment (MDEL #35334), and both lines ship from the same account. The laboratory consumables collection holds the specimen side; the 24 inch non-woven bouffant caps and the 6 x 9 inch 95 kPa specimen bag are the two lines a storeroom usually starts with. Two sibling notes fill in the detail: case quantity ordering at a veterinary practice and consumable lead times in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many specimen bag sizes should a lab stock?
Four sizes cover most work: one for a single tube, one for two tubes with a requisition, one for larger containers, and one for bulk runs.
Are the specimen bags pressure rated?
Yes. The transport bags are rated to hold a 95 kPa pressure difference, which is the figure an air shipment is measured against.
What is the three-wall specimen bag for?
It adds absorbency for single shipments where one failed container would otherwise be a problem.
Do bouffant caps and scrub caps suit the same staff?
They overlap. The 24 inch bouffant suits longer hair and a full shift, while the scrub cap is the lighter option for a shorter shift.
CliniEco Medical is a licensed medical device establishment (MDEL #35334).
