What is "DNP's medical sterilization pouch"?

Easy-open sterilization pouch at medical scene

A medical sterilization pouch is a single-use pack that enters the sterilizer with the device already sealed inside. It allows steam, ethylene-oxide gas, gamma irradiation, or other sterilants to penetrate and maintains sterility until the pouch is peeled open at the point of care. Conventional sterilization pouches may often present two issues: some materials are designed for only a specific sterilization method, and many paper-based substrates cause lint when opened—both of which can compromise device integrity and patient safety.

DNP’s medical sterilization pouch solves both issues at once with its easy and clean peel design and compatibility with multiple medical sterilization processes.
