Sterilization Pouches

Sterilisation pouches hold cleaned instruments during sterilisation and keep them sterile until use. They are used in GP surgeries, dental practices, hospitals, podiatry and beauty clinics – anywhere reusable instruments are reprocessed in-house.

All three pouches in the range combine medical paper with clear film, so the contents remain visible. They are self-sealing and carry an indicator for steam and EO sterilisation. Sizes: 90 × 230 mm for single instruments, 100 × 260 mm for slightly longer instruments, and 200 × 350 mm for instrument sets. Our data names EN 868 and ISO 11607 as the relevant standards for these pouches.

Typical applications

• Packing single instruments such as scissors, forceps or probes before autoclaving
• Keeping dental instruments sterile after reprocessing
• Assembling instrument sets for minor procedures in the large pouch
• Checking the contents through the film side before opening

What to look for when buying

Choose the pouch size by the longest instrument and leave enough room for the pouch to close without strain. For most single instruments, 90 × 230 mm or 100 × 260 mm is enough; 200 × 350 mm is intended for sets.

Also check which process you use. According to the product data, all three pouches are suitable for steam and EO sterilisation. Each is supplied in boxes of 200, and one box is the minimum order. Many practices order two or three sizes together in one enquiry.
