Dukal 27305 - Sterilization Pouches 3.5" x 10", 500/BX, 4 BX/CS
The Dukal 27305 Sterilization Pouches are high quality, single use pouches designed to maintain sterility of instruments and medical supplies until the point of use. Each pouch measures 3.5 x 10 inches, making it ideal for smaller instruments and tools used in hospitals, dental offices, surgical centers, and laboratories. The box contains 500 pouches, and each case is packaged with 4 boxes, providing a total of 2000 pouches for high volume use.
Key Benefits
These sterilization pouches are manufactured with durable medical grade paper and a clear film that allows easy identification of contents without compromising sterility. Built in chemical indicators change color during the sterilization process, giving clinicians a reliable visual confirmation. The strong self sealing adhesive strip ensures a secure closure, reducing the risk of contamination or accidental opening during storage or handling.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal sterilization pouches are compatible with steam and ethylene oxide sterilization processes, making them suitable for use in a wide variety of healthcare environments. They are commonly used to package surgical instruments, dental tools, and small medical devices. Their clear window design supports quick identification of instruments in both hospital central sterile departments and outpatient surgical centers.
Usage Guidelines
Place cleaned and dried instruments inside the pouch, ensuring they are not overpacked to allow proper sterilant penetration. Seal securely using the adhesive strip and position the pouch with the transparent side facing up when loading into the sterilizer. After the sterilization cycle, check the color change indicator to confirm exposure. Store in a clean, dry area until use. Do not reuse pouches once opened or after a sterilization cycle.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal sterilization pouches are produced under strict quality control to meet international standards for sterile barrier packaging. They are designed in compliance with applicable medical device and infection control regulations. Chemical indicators are validated for reliability to ensure accurate sterilization monitoring. Check packaging for confirmation of CE marking or other regional approvals.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to generic sterilization pouches, Dukal 27305 pouches provide strong seals, consistent chemical indicator performance, and a clear film that resists tearing during use. The large case quantity of 2000 pouches supports cost effectiveness for facilities with high instrument turnover. Unlike some lower grade pouches, these offer consistent seal integrity and clear visibility for efficient workflow in sterile processing.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Typical users include central sterile processing staff, dental professionals, surgical nurses, and laboratory technicians. Application scenarios include packaging of surgical sets for operating rooms, preparing dental instruments for patient care, and securing small tools in outpatient or clinical procedures where sterility must be maintained until point of use.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store sterilization pouches in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled environment to maintain adhesive and material quality. Avoid overloading the pouch with instruments to ensure sterilization efficacy. Ensure the adhesive seal is completely closed before sterilization. Always follow facility protocols and sterilizer manufacturer guidelines for optimal results. Discard any damaged or compromised pouches.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not attempt to reuse sterilization pouches. Use only in validated sterilization processes such as steam or ethylene oxide. Follow healthcare facility protocols, infection prevention standards, and regional regulatory requirements for sterilization, packaging, and handling. Ensure staff are trained in sterile processing best practices to maintain patient safety.
