Sterilisation bag is a packaging material specifically designed to contain and protect medical devices, surgical supplies, laboratory equipment, etc. from external contamination during the sterilisation process and to maintain their internal sterility until use. These bags are an integral part of the healthcare industry, ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical supplies. Sterilisation bag has the following features:
- Aseptic Barrier: The core function of a sterilisation pouch is to provide a reliable aseptic barrier against microorganisms and to ensure that the sterilised item remains sterile for a long period of time. This is often achieved through the use of multi-layer material structures, such as paper-poly composites, medical grade paper, Tyvek, etc., which have good microbiological barrier properties.
- Permeability and steam penetration: In order to adapt to the needs of autoclaving, sterilisation bags need to have good permeability and steam penetration, allowing steam to fully penetrate the sterilisation process, but also in the cooling and can be quickly discharged, to avoid the phenomenon of wet packages, to ensure that the effect of sterilisation.
- strength and durability: the bag needs to have enough physical strength to withstand high pressure, high temperature in the process of sterilisation, as well as subsequent handling, storage process, to ensure that there is no breakage, no leakage.
- Ease of use and identification: the design of the sterilization bag should be easy to quickly seal and open, while providing clear indication of sterilization marking, such as colour change strips or chemical indication card slots, in order to visually confirm the state of sterilization.
- Adapt to a variety of sterilization methods: according to different sterilization methods (such as ethylene oxide, radiation sterilization, autoclaving, etc.), the sterilization bag has the corresponding material and design to meet the requirements of specific sterilization conditions.
