Device pouch cuts sterilization time - Materials/Containers

Food & Drug Packaging, April, 2003

Core-Peel pouch for medical devices uses uncoated Tyvek to shorten the time needed for sterilization with ethylene oxide gas. Contamination from fiber tear is avoided because the Core-Peel seal layer embeds iself into the Tybek fiber structure. When peeled, the seal layer breaks through cleanly and offers visual seal transfer for confirmation of seal integrity.
