Uses
- Sterilization of Instruments:
- Used to contain small dental or medical instruments (such as burs or handpieces) during autoclaving or dry heat processing
- Maintenance of Sterility:
- Provides a microbial barrier for instruments during storage and transport after the sterilization cycle is complete
- Infection Control:
- A critical component of standard dental office protocols to prevent cross-contamination
Features
- Dual Indicators:
- Features internal and external process indicators that change color to verify the pouch has been exposed to the sterilization agent (steam or ethylene oxide)
- Self-Sealing Strip:
- Includes a pre-applied adhesive strip for a secure, easy, and consistent seal without the need for additional heat-sealing equipment
- Material Construction:
- Crafted with high-quality medical-grade paper on one side for steam penetration and a transparent blue film on the other for easy instrument identification
- Puncture Resistance:
- Designed with a robust seal to provide protection against punctures from sharp instruments
- Packaging:
- Typically sold in a box of 200 pouches
Benefits
- Sterilization Confirmation:
