Disinfection and sterilization packaging can be divided into two parts: primary packaging and auxiliary packaging. Generally speaking, the disinfection and sterilization packaging of medical devices refers to the initial packaging of the product, that is, the part that directly contacts the product and forms a microbial barrier. Auxiliary packaging mainly involves the storage and circulation of product life cycle. Packaging, design, protection, convenience, traceability and carton, plastic bag, label, barcode, printing, pallet and container related to packaging cost. This article only deals with the initial packaging of medical device sterilization products.
The main materials of medical sterilization packaging bags are paper polybag, polybag, medical grade paper, filling film, (tray), etc. The most characteristic material of medical equipment packaging is Tevek, a non-woven material based on 100% high-density polyethylene.
Therefore, the sterile packaging of medical devices is also dominated by soft plastic packaging materials. The important difference is that the requirements for medical device packaging materials are very high. In addition to meeting the basic packaging performance of traditional protection and isolation of the external environment, it also emphasizes the continuous and stable material properties, as well as the compatibility of disinfection and sterilization needs and expansion methods, the material microbial barrier is non-toxic, These special requirements are sufficient to prevent enterprises engaged in general industrial products and food packaging from entering the field of medical device packaging.
The enterprises that manufacture medical devices are relatively fixed and professional. Therefore, the packaging design of medical devices is different. They all pay attention to bright colors and complex patterns, but also have a label that shows their contents.
