Dukal UPP-225 - Sterilization Pouches, 2-1/4" x 5", 200/bx, 16 bx/
The Dukal UPP-225 Sterilization Pouches in a 2-1/4 inch by 5 inch size provide secure, reliable packaging for instruments requiring sterilization by steam or chemical vapor. Each box contains 200 pouches, and each case includes 16 boxes, making them well-suited for clinics, dental practices, surgical centers, and laboratories with frequent sterilization cycles. These pouches are designed to maintain sterility after processing, protecting instruments until they are ready for use.
Key Benefits
The pouches feature a strong medical-grade paper paired with a transparent film that allows staff to view contents without opening the package. Built-in process indicators change color during sterilization, confirming exposure to proper conditions. Reinforced seals enhance durability and reduce the risk of tears or compromised sterility during handling and storage.
Compatibility and Applications
UPP-225 pouches are compatible with steam and chemical vapor sterilizers and accommodate small instruments such as dental explorers, scalers, burs, endodontic files, and minor surgical tools. They are appropriate for dental offices, outpatient clinics, surgical suites, veterinary practices, and laboratories that require consistent sterile processing.
Usage Guidelines
Place clean, dry instruments inside the pouch. Seal securely along the designated closure line to maintain sterility during and after processing. Arrange pouches in the sterilizer to allow adequate airflow. Remove only after completing the full sterilization cycle and allow to cool before storing or handling. Inspect indicators and seals prior to use.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The pouches are produced under controlled manufacturing standards for medical packaging and support compliance with accepted sterilization protocols. Materials are designed to withstand high heat and moisture levels encountered in standard sterilization environments.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with basic sterilization packaging, Dukal pouches provide stronger seals, clearer visibility, and dual internal and external indicators for enhanced verification. Their consistent sizing and reinforced seams help reduce failures during sterilization cycles.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
These pouches are used by dental teams, medical assistants, sterile processing technicians, veterinarians, and laboratory staff. Common use cases include preparing small instruments for routine examinations, surgical procedures, endodontic sessions, or laboratory work requiring sterilized tools.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store pouches in a clean, dry area away from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not reuse pouches after a completed sterilization cycle. Avoid overloading instruments to ensure proper seal integrity and sterilant penetration. Rotate stock to maintain freshness and packaging quality.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single use and should not be resealed or sterilized more than once. Follow facility guidelines, sterilizer manufacturer instructions, and standard infection-control procedures for proper use, validation, and disposal.
