These sterilization reels are widely available and meet international standards for medical packaging. The combination of materials provides a secure barrier while allowing the sterilant to penetrate and then maintaining the sterility of the contents until the package is opened.
Material Composition: Constructed from high-quality medical-grade paper (often 60gsm or 70gsm) and a transparent, reinforced multi-layer PET/PP copolymer film. This design ensures durability and allows for clear viewing of the packaged instruments.
Sterilization Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with common sterilization methods, including steam (autoclave) and ethylene oxide (EO) gas.
Indicators: All reels typically feature water-based, non-toxic process indicators printed on the paper surface that change color to confirm exposure to the sterilization process.
Steam sterilization typically changes the indicator color from blue to black (or pink to cocoa).
EO sterilization typically changes the indicator color from pink to yellow (or blue to brown).
