Dukal 27302 - Sterilization Pouches 2.75" x 10", 200/BX, 20 BX/CS
The Dukal 27302 Sterilization Pouches are high quality self sealing pouches designed to maintain sterility of medical instruments after autoclaving. Measuring 2.75 x 10 inches, these pouches provide secure containment for small to medium sized instruments. Each pouch features a durable medical grade paper and film construction with a reliable self sealing adhesive strip that ensures a secure closure without the need for additional sealing equipment.
Key Benefits
These sterilization pouches help maintain instrument sterility until the point of use, reducing infection risk. The built-in indicator ink changes color during the sterilization process, allowing staff to verify exposure easily. The self-sealing closure system improves efficiency by eliminating the need for heat sealers, while the strong adhesive strip ensures a tight and reliable seal. Clear film windows allow for quick instrument identification without opening the pouch.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal 27302 pouches are compatible with steam and ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization processes. They are suitable for use in hospitals, surgical centers, dental clinics, laboratories, and outpatient facilities. Typical applications include sterilizing surgical instruments, dental tools, and other small medical devices requiring secure sterile packaging.
Usage Guidelines
Insert clean, dry instruments into the pouch without overfilling. Remove the release liner and fold the adhesive flap securely to seal. Place sealed pouches into the sterilizer according to facility protocols and manufacturer instructions. After sterilization, verify the chemical indicator has changed color. Store the pouches in a clean, dry environment until use. Do not reuse or reseal after opening.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal sterilization pouches are manufactured under strict quality standards to ensure compliance with medical device packaging requirements. They are designed to meet industry guidelines for sterilization packaging materials, ensuring sterility maintenance and patient safety. Packaging displays sterilization indicators for both steam and EO processes, and conforms to applicable regulatory standards.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to generic sterilization pouches, the Dukal 27302 offers a strong self-seal closure system that eliminates the need for extra sealing devices. The high-strength medical-grade paper provides durability and breathability, while the transparent film window improves visibility of instruments. With dual process indicators and consistent adhesive performance, these pouches deliver more reliable results than many lower-cost alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Common users include surgical staff, dental practitioners, sterile processing technicians, and laboratory professionals. The pouches are ideal in scenarios requiring frequent sterilization of small hand instruments, scalpel handles, probes, or dental picks. Their compact size makes them especially useful for clinics and practices with smaller instruments.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Always inspect pouches for damage before use and discard any compromised packaging. Do not overfill or place wet instruments inside, as this may compromise sterility. Ensure the adhesive flap is fully sealed and pressed flat before sterilization. Store sterilized pouches in a cool, dry, and clean location until ready for use. Follow facility protocols for safe disposal of used packaging.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Ensure pouches are intact and properly sealed before sterilization. Do not use if the chemical indicator fails to change color after processing. Follow institutional policies and regulatory guidelines for sterilization, packaging and infection control to ensure compliance and patient safety.
