Dukal 27303 - Sterilization Pouches 3.5" x 5.25", 200/BX, 30 BX/CS
The Dukal 27303 Sterilization Pouches are designed to provide a reliable sterile barrier for medical instruments and supplies. Measuring 3.5 x 5.25 inches, these pouches are ideal for small instruments and components used in clinical, surgical, and dental environments. Each pouch is crafted with medical grade paper and a durable film layer that ensures visibility of the contents while maintaining sterility until use.
Key Benefits
These sterilization pouches offer a strong seal to maintain sterility and protect instruments from contamination. The clear film front allows for easy identification of contents without breaking the seal, supporting efficient workflow. With pre printed indicators, the pouches confirm exposure to sterilization processes, ensuring compliance with infection control protocols. The small size is convenient for compact instruments, helping reduce packaging waste.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal sterilization pouches are compatible with both steam and ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods. They are widely used in hospitals, dental practices, surgical centers, and outpatient clinics. Common applications include sterilizing scissors, dental tools, syringes, and other small reusable instruments.
Usage Guidelines
Place cleaned and dried instruments inside the pouch, ensuring they do not exceed the fill line. Seal securely using the built-in adhesive strip. Position pouches in the sterilizer with the paper side facing the steam or gas source to allow penetration. After sterilization, store pouches in a clean, dry environment until use. Discard if the pouch is damaged or the seal is compromised.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal sterilization pouches are manufactured according to industry standards for sterile barrier packaging. They include chemical process indicators for steam and EtO sterilization validation. Products are produced in compliance with regulatory requirements for medical device packaging, ensuring safety and reliability in healthcare environments.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to generic sterilization pouches, Dukal 27303 pouches provide strong seals and durable construction that resist tears and punctures. The convenient self-seal adhesive design reduces the need for additional sealing equipment. Their smaller size offers a better fit for compact tools, minimizing wasted pouch space compared to larger alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Users include sterile processing technicians, dental assistants, and surgical staff who require safe, effective sterilization packaging. Application scenarios range from dental offices sterilizing hand instruments to outpatient surgery centers processing reusable tools between procedures.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Always clean and dry instruments thoroughly before packaging to prevent compromised sterilization. Avoid overfilling pouches, as this may lead to failed seals or sterilization issues. Store sterilized pouches in designated clean areas until needed. Inspect seals before use to ensure sterility has been maintained.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not reuse pouches once opened or compromised. Follow facility guidelines for sterilization validation and documentation. Ensure compatibility with the sterilization method in use at your facility. Dispose of pouches according to local medical waste handling policies.
