Dukal UPT-003 - Sterilization Tubing, 3" x 100ft, 1/bx, 10 bx/
Dukal UPT-003 Sterilization Tubing is designed to provide flexible, reliable packaging for instruments requiring steam or gas sterilization. With a 3 inch width and 100 foot length, this roll-style tubing allows users to create custom-sized sterilization pouches to accommodate a wide variety of instrument shapes and lengths. Each box contains one roll, and each case includes ten boxes, making it suitable for facilities with ongoing sterilization demands.
Key Benefits
The wider 3 inch format offers added versatility for larger or grouped instruments while maintaining strong, consistent sealing performance. The clear film side allows easy visual inspection of contents, while the medical-grade paper backing supports effective sterilant penetration. Custom cutting helps reduce material waste compared to fixed-size pouches.
Compatibility and Applications
This sterilization tubing is compatible with standard heat sealers and supports common sterilization methods used in healthcare settings. It is widely used in hospitals, dental practices, surgical centers, outpatient clinics, and laboratories for packaging hand instruments, trays, and procedural tools.
Usage Guidelines
Cut the tubing to the required length, allowing space for proper sealing on both ends. Insert clean, dry instruments and add indicators as required by facility protocol. Seal using an approved heat sealer and process according to the chosen sterilization method. Avoid overloading to ensure adequate airflow and sterilant exposure.
Certifications and Safety Standards
Manufactured under controlled quality standards, this tubing is designed for use in professional sterilization workflows. When sealed and stored correctly, it helps maintain sterility until point of use.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with narrower tubing or preformed pouches, the 3 inch width provides greater flexibility for medium-sized instruments. Dukal tubing offers dependable seal strength, consistent peelability, and clear visibility, outperforming thinner or less durable alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store rolls in a clean, dry environment away from heat and moisture. Inspect tubing before use and discard any damaged sections. Rotate inventory regularly and follow facility sterilization policies to ensure safe and effective instrument processing.
Regulatory and Safety Information
