This kit contains a sterile jar and 2 sterile pouches to contain the jar aseptically during storage of the graft on antibiotics.

These are contained within a surgical wrap that provides a small sterile field for aseptically adding the antibiotics to the bone graft and packaging the jar in 2 peel pouch barriers for storage. After soaking, the sterile peel pouches allow aseptic introduction of the jar containing the bone graft on antibiotics to the sterile field on the day of surgery.
