Sterile Processing Solutions
đ Smarter Sterile Processing Department Solutions Starts Here
In sterile processing, reliability and cleanliness are non-negotiable. Traditional labeling methods like tape can compromise both introducing bioburden, creating sterilization challenges, and adding hours of unnecessary rework. UniClip from ACE Medical is the permanent tray identification system engineered to eliminate residue, reduce infection risk, and ensure fast, accurate tray tracking across your OR and SPD. Built to withstand repeated sterilization cycles, UniClip streamlines compliance and elevates your infection control standards from day one.
We also offer a full line of high-performance sterilization racks and trays, including our signature Kerrison Rack, designed to be compatible with rigid container systems. For flexible workflow options, we provide a rotating Kerrison tray as well as bipolar forceps trays available in configurations for either 2 or 10 instruments. Each rack is engineered for maximum protection, secure positioning, and optimal sterilant penetration ensuring your instruments arrive sterile, safe, and ready for use.
And when it comes to OEM replacement parts, make sure you’re ordering directly from the manufacturer ACE Medical. Our components are precision-engineered to meet original specifications, so your instruments function exactly as intended. Using third-party parts may compromise fit, longevity, and even patient safety. Trust ACE Medical to deliver performance and compatibility you can count on every time.
đ„ The Heart of Hospital Safety: Sterile Processing Department Professionals
Behind every successful surgery, every sterile instrument, and every safe patient outcome, thereâs a team working tirelessly often behind the scenes. Sterile Processing Department (SPD) professionals are the unsung heroes of the hospital, charged with one of the most critical responsibilities in healthcare: ensuring that every instrument is meticulously cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and ready for use.
These professionals manage complex workflows, high volumes of instruments, and intense pressure to meet OR schedules all while upholding the highest standards of infection control. Their work is painstaking, exacting, and absolutely vital to patient safety, yet it often goes unnoticed by the very systems they support. As demands grow and resources shrink, SPD teams need solutions that donât just meet standards, they need tools that make their jobs easier, safer, and more efficient.
đ The Need for Smarter, Safer Identification
One persistent challenge in sterile processing is tray identification. For decades, tape has been the go-to method. But SPD professionals know all too well the issues it causes residue build-up, fading labels, peeling edges, and relabeling tasks that steal valuable time from reprocessing.
Worse, this tape can harbor bioburden that escapes even the most rigorous sterilization, increasing the risk of surgical site infections and compromising patient care. Tape wears down faster than workflows can keep up, and reapplying it week after week adds hours of manual work to already overloaded departments.
Thatâs where UniClip from ACE Medical steps in.
đ ïž Introducing UniClip: The Permanent Tray Identification System
UniClip is a revolutionary solution designed specifically for SPD and OR teams. Itâs a permanent, hygienic, and fully scannable tray ID system that eliminates everything tape gets wrong. Made from high-performance Stainless Steel with an anodized aluminum tag, UniClip withstands repeated autoclaving, chemical exposure, and daily handling without losing integrity. It securely attaches to any sieve tray and supports both 1D barcodes and 2D Data Matrix codes so your tracking systems remain accurate, reliable, and compliant.
With UniClip, you no longer have to worry about sticky residues, faded labels, or constant relabeling. The tags are customizable by color, text, or scan format, making it easy to align with your existing inventory system and sterilization protocols. SPD professionals gain back precious time, infection control improves, and trays move through the department faster, with greater traceability.
đĄ Designed to Support SPD, Not Slow It Down
Every detail of UniClip is engineered with real SPD challenges in mind:
-
Cleanable surfaces that resist residue and enable full sterilization
-
Long-lasting durability through hundreds of steam or chemical cycles
-
Visual and scannable clarity, reducing delays and misidentification
-
No tools required for applicationâdesigned to integrate with current trays

The transition from tape to UniClip is simple. ACE Medical provides step-by-step guidance, from discovery and data migration to training and full system integration. Our team works directly with SPD leadership to ensure minimal disruption and maximum impact.
đ© Sterilization Trays and Instrument Racks That Work as Hard as You Do
Alongside UniClip, ACE Medical offers a suite of instrument protection solutions built for todayâs sterilization demands.
Our Kerrison Rack is specially designed for use with rigid container sterilization systems, offering secure and organized instrument positioning for maximum sterilant exposure. For flexible use cases, we also offer a rotating Kerrison Tray that enables easy access and repositioning within sterilizers or storage units.
When it comes to delicate instruments like bipolar forceps, we provide custom trays in 2-forceps and 10-forceps configurations. These trays are engineered to minimize movement, prevent tip damage, and reduce reprocessing time, all while maintaining compliance with hospital sterilization standards.
Each rack and tray is constructed from high-durability, sterilization-safe materials and is designed with the SPD professional in mindâprioritizing efficiency, instrument protection, and safe handling.
đ§ Protect Your Investment: Order OEM Parts Direct from the Source
As your instruments age, repairs and replacements are inevitable. But not all parts are created equal. Ordering OEM replacement parts directly from ACE Medical ensures you get components that are precision-manufactured to original specifications. Using third-party or generic parts may lead to poor fit, reduced performance, or even voided warranties, and most importantly, it can compromise patient safety.
When you order from us, youâre not just getting a part, youâre ensuring your instruments perform exactly as they were designed to. That means consistent reliability, longer instrument lifespan, and peace of mind for your technicians and surgical teams.
