The clear front allows easy visibility of instruments, while the durable medical-grade paper backing supports consistent sterilization penetration. Its customizable length reduces waste and improves efficiency for facilities handling instruments of different sizes.
Compatibility and Applications
The UPT-002 tubing is compatible with standard heat-sealing devices and is suitable for steam and gas sterilization processes. It is commonly used in hospitals, surgical centers, dental clinics, ambulatory care facilities, research laboratories, and instrument-processing departments for packaging small tools, scalers, hand instruments, and accessories.
Usage Guidelines
Cut the tubing to the desired length, allowing enough space for sealing and instrument removal. Seal both ends using an approved heat sealer. Place chemical indicators as required by facility protocols. Ensure instruments are thoroughly cleaned and dried before packaging. Avoid overfilling the pouch to maintain airflow during sterilization.
