Abstract :

Packaging in medical instruments is important for maintaining sterility. At the end of a correct sterilization process, products inside the sterilizer chamber are sterile. In a hospital or clinic it is important that all medical instruments used for treating patients are absolutely safe for use, the chance for spreading of diseases should be kept as small as possible The air in the room where the sterilizer is installed contains dust particles, which may carry micro-organisms. So when taking out the load from the sterilizer, it soon will be contaminated again. In addition usually sterile goods are stored for quite some time before they are used, and moreover they are transported through the hospital to the place they are to be used. when not protected, the goods will definitely be decontaminated by the time they are used. . The proper selection, use, and performance of sterilization packaging systems is crucial to achieve sterilization of the package contents, maintain sterility of the contents until the package is opened for use, and permit removal of the contents without contamination
