How it compares
Compared to basic wraps or unsealed packaging, sterilization pouches provide an airtight, tamper-evident seal that guarantees sterility until use. The built-in chemical indicators offer visual confirmation that the pouch has been properly processed, giving users confidence in infection control compliance. Many pouches meet ISO and EN standards for sterilization packaging.
Care and usage tips
Ensure pouches are not overloaded, and leave sufficient space for steam or gas circulation. Store sterilized pouches in a clean, dry area, and avoid contact with sharp objects that could compromise the seal.
