Product details

Self-sealing sterilization pouches 60 x 100mm, autoclave / EO indicator (100 pcs)

The self-sealing pouches are made of a medical-grade plastic called transparent laminated film, derived from a special polyester or polypropylene film, and medical paper.

The paper used is smooth on both sides, white, and provides high antibacterial protection.

They are used for Autoclave and Ethylene Oxide sterilization.

To verify sterilization effectiveness, they have two indicators printed on the paper, one for steam and one for ethylene oxide.

Correct sterilization is confirmed by the indicator changing color.

For steam sterilization at 121-134 º C, the color changes from pink to brown.

For ethylene oxide sterilization at 30-54 º C, the color changes from blue to orange.

Sterility is maintained for 2 months after sterilization, provided the packaging remains intact.

Once used, the pouches must be discarded, as they cannot be sterilized a second time.

A distinctive feature of self-adhesive pouches is that they are used for a single item.

No sealing machine is required, as they feature a special adhesive strip that hermetically seals the open end of the pouch. When using these pouches, instruments must be opened or disassembled, and sharp tips protected. This type of packaging provides protection against chemical and biological contamination from the moment of sterilization until the pack is opened.
