Packaging for medical and surgical sets requires careful consideration of package design, material construction, device geometry, sterilization method and mechanical performance requirements. Medical kraft sterilization papers, coated sterilization papers and multilayer barrier films, when used in compatible combinations, support package integrity, reliable seal performance and consistent processing for surgical kits and procedure sets.
Medical & Surgical Set Packaging
Mechanical Protection: Material options designed to help reduce puncture and mechanical damage risks in sets containing sharp, heavy or irregularly shaped components.
Sterilization Compatibility: Paper, coating and film options suitable for steam and ethylene oxide sterilization processes.
Seal Performance: Compatible paper, coating and film constructions supporting controlled heat-seal and opening performance.
Technical Compliance: Material selection and package design can be evaluated with consideration of the applicable requirements of ISO 11607-1.
