Sterilization pouches and tubes are disposable medical supplies that play a vital role in the medical field.

They securely hold instruments and other medical devices during sterilization, ensuring their safety and effectiveness.

They allow the sterilant (e.g., steam, ethylene oxide gas, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma) to penetrate the pouch and kill microorganisms on the instruments inside while protecting them from contamination after sterilization.

Here are some of the specific uses of sterilization pouches and tubes:

Protecting instruments during sterilization: The pouch's material is designed to allow the sterilizer to penetrate while protecting the instruments from physical damage or exposure to contaminants in the sterilizer.
Maintaining sterility: After sterilization, the sealed pouch maintains the instruments' sterility until they are needed for use.

This is important to prevent infections at surgical sites and other complications.

Sterilization pouches have the key features for aseptic presentation. They enable the sterile instruments to be presented aseptically in the operating room.

The pouch can be opened using an aseptic technique, ensuring that the instruments remain sterile until used on the patient, thereby reducing the risk of infection.

There are two main types of sterilization pouches:

Paper pouches: These are typically used for steam sterilization.
Tyvek pouches: These are made from a DuPont material called Tyvek and are used for ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization or vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization.
