Dukal UPT-006 - Sterilization Tubing, 6" x 100ft, 1/bx, 10 bx/
Dukal UPT-006 Sterilization Tubing is designed to provide flexible, reliable packaging for instruments requiring steam or gas sterilization. With a wider 6 inch width and a total length of 100 feet, this roll-style tubing allows facilities to create custom-sized sterilization pouches for larger or multiple instruments. It supports efficient instrument processing in medical, dental, surgical, and laboratory environments. Each box contains one roll, with ten boxes per case.
Key Benefits
The wider tubing accommodates bulky instruments and instrument sets that may not fit standard preformed pouches. Its durable construction helps protect contents from punctures and tears while maintaining sterility after processing. The clear film side allows easy visual inspection of instruments and indicators, while the medical-grade paper backing supports effective sterilant penetration.
Compatibility and Applications
UPT-006 sterilization tubing is compatible with standard heat sealers and commonly used steam and gas sterilization systems. It is well suited for hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, dental clinics, veterinary practices, and central sterile departments that routinely process larger tools or grouped instrument sets.
Usage Guidelines
Cut the tubing to the required length, leaving adequate space for sealing and safe instrument removal. Seal one end with an approved heat sealer, insert clean and dry instruments along with required indicators, then seal the opposite end. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper airflow and sterilant exposure during the cycle.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The tubing is manufactured under quality-controlled conditions and meets general expectations for sterilization packaging materials used in healthcare environments. When properly sealed and stored, it helps maintain sterility until the point of use.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with narrower tubing or fixed-size pouches, the 6 inch width offers greater versatility for larger instruments and custom tray configurations. Dukal tubing provides consistent seal strength, dependable peel performance, and improved durability over thinner or lower-quality alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is commonly used by central sterile technicians, dental assistants, surgical staff, veterinary professionals, and laboratory personnel. Typical applications include packaging surgical instruments, dental trays, orthopedic tools, veterinary equipment, and laboratory devices requiring reliable sterilization.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store tubing in a clean, dry location away from heat and moisture. Inspect rolls before use and discard any tubing that is damaged or contaminated. Rotate inventory regularly and follow facility sterilization protocols to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Regulatory and Safety Information
