Dukal UPT-004 - Sterilization Tubing, 4" x 100ft, 1/bx, 10 bx/
Dukal UPT-004 Sterilization Tubing offers flexible, reliable packaging for instruments requiring steam or gas sterilization. With a wider 4 inch format and a 100 foot roll length, this tubing is ideal for packaging larger or multiple instruments while allowing users to cut custom pouch sizes as needed. Each box contains one roll, and each case includes ten boxes, supporting consistent use in busy clinical and sterile processing environments.
Key Benefits
The wider tubing accommodates bulkier instruments and grouped sets without compromising seal integrity. Its durable construction helps resist punctures and tearing, maintaining sterility after processing. The clear film allows easy identification of contents, while the medical-grade paper backing supports effective sterilant penetration.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal UPT-004 tubing is compatible with standard heat sealers and commonly used steam and gas sterilization methods. It is widely used in hospitals, dental practices, surgical centers, outpatient clinics, and laboratories for packaging hand instruments, surgical tools, trays, and accessories that require reliable sterilization protection.
Usage Guidelines
Cut the tubing to the required length, allowing adequate space for sealing and safe instrument removal. Seal both ends using an approved heat-sealing device. Ensure instruments are cleaned and dried prior to packaging, and include chemical indicators according to facility protocols. Do not overfill to allow proper airflow during sterilization.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The tubing is manufactured under controlled quality standards and meets general requirements for sterilization packaging materials. When sealed and stored correctly, it helps maintain sterility until the point of use.
