Description

The STERILIZ WRAP, also known as HALYARD* Sterilization Wrap or QUICK CHECK Steriliz Wrap, is an essential tool in maintaining the sterility of medical instruments and devices. Designed as a single-use sterile barrier system, it ensures that medical devices remain uncontaminated during and after terminal sterilization until they are needed.

Key Features

• Microbial Barrier: Provides robust protection against bacteria and fluids, ensuring the sterility of medical devices.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for use with all standard sterilization methods, including pre-vacuum steam, ethylene oxide (ETO), formaldehyde (low temperature), and plasma sterilization.
• Flexible Use: Can be employed as a single or double wrap, ideal for packaging a variety of items such as linen towels, gowns, basin sets, single instruments, and implants.

Materials and Construction

Crafted from recyclable #5 polypropylene fabric, the wrap features a five-layer Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond (SMS) construction. This non-woven SMS fabric offers strength, durability, and breathability, while being low lint, water-resistant, and flammability resistant. It is also repellent to alcohol, oil, and blood, and possesses anti-static properties.

Design and Identification

The wrap's innovative design includes double color bonded sheets in white and blue, facilitating easy breach identification and tray inspection. Its drapeable and soft nature enhances usability. Available in various sizes and grades, the ONE-STEP* design with double sheets simplifies wrapping and improves breach identification.

Performance and Compliance

The STERILIZ WRAP boasts high bacterial filtration efficiency and has been rigorously tested for both event-related and time-related sterility maintenance. It complies with EN ISO 11607-1:2020 and EN 868-2:2024 standards, is CE-marked, and FDA cleared. It meets AS/NZS 4187 and EN13795 standards, ensuring no color leaching and maintaining specific physical properties such as tensile strength and water repellency.

Use and Application

Widely used in healthcare facilities, this wrap is suitable for both inner and outer packaging of medical devices. It should be used in validated sterilization processes and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for use.

Environmental and Safety Considerations

Made from recyclable materials, the STERILIZ WRAP addresses environmental aspects in line with relevant standards. Product labeling includes standard medical device symbols and essential information, ensuring clear communication of its use and storage guidelines.

General Maintenance Guidelines

Users are advised to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding use and storage, including limits on sterile product storage time and requirements for temperature and humidity. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the wrap's protective qualities.
