Harlan Teklad Contact Bedding
Packaged in 10kg. (22 pound) bags
Particle Shape: The
unconventional particle shape prevents layering and stacking. This
feature enhances the rotation of particles to expose more surface
area to air circulation.
High Absorbency: The ultra
high absorbency of the particles, which is many times that
of natural products, also encourages the evaporation of
liquids. This allows the product to last longer and continually
absorb.
Color and Consistency: The
bright white color is cosmetically appealing and is an
asset in the observation of animals and their discharges.
Certified: OMEGA-dri is supplied
in a consistent grade that is routinely tested for microbiological,
heavy metal, pesticide and other chemical parameters.
High Tech Product: The nature
of the product virtually eliminates the variables associated
with natural bedding products. OMEGA-dri is the perfect
companion for microisolation units.
Controlled Manufacturing: The
unique processing technique assures consistency with a
virtually dust-free product. This also assures definition
and reliability.
Packaging: OMEGA-dri is packaged
in high strength multi-walled bags that are autoclavable.
The source of the pulp is primarily Southern Loblolly Pine. The characteristic
long fiber and low resin content promotes excellent bulking quantities
and wicking rates. The pulp material is used extensively in the manufacturing
of diapers, sanitary napkins and incontinent pads. Since the material
comes in contact with humans in the forms listed above, the FDA has
granted wood cellulose pulp of this nature as GRAS (Generally Regarded
As Safe). The U.S. Department of Commerce publication PB-221949 includes
cellulose in a listing of substances presumed to be GRAS by the FDA
but not published.
