These sterilization pouches feature durable medical-grade paper paired with a transparent film, allowing staff to easily identify instruments without opening the pouch.

Usage Guidelines
Insert clean and properly prepared instruments into the pouch without overfilling. Seal using the self-adhesive strip, ensuring a smooth and secure closure. Position pouches in the sterilizer with the paper side facing the film side of another pouch to promote optimal airflow. Allow pouches to dry completely before handling or storing.
Certifications and Safety Standards
