Cardinal Health T12430A - Dust Cover Self-Sealing, Transparent Sterile Barrier for Wrapped Instrument Protection, 24"X30", 250 EA/CS

Product Overview

The Cardinal Health T12430A Dust Cover is a self-sealing, transparent barrier designed to protect sterilized, wrapped instrument trays and packs from dust, moisture, and environmental contamination during storage. Made from durable, medical-grade plastic, this dust cover helps preserve the sterility of surgical supplies until the point of use without compromising visibility or traceability.

Its self-seal adhesive strip ensures a secure closure without the need for heat sealing or additional tools. Ideal for sterile processing departments, surgical centers, and hospitals, the T12430A dust cover supports infection prevention protocols and extends the shelf life of sterilized items.
