BBL Port-A-Cul Transport Jar – (sterile
pack) offers a sterile, 3”-wide screw cap
jar with a 1”-wide mouth to facilitate
tissue and other larger sample specimen
insertion and removal. Operating room
personnel no longer need resort to
clumsy gauze wrappings, loosely
covered Petri dishes or other containers
not intended to maintain organism
viability, and that provide little to no
protection to anaerobes.
