Eurosteril® Sterilization Rolls

Eurosteril® sterilization rolls are made of the best certified materials: heavy weight medical paper (60 g/m²) and a double layer of light blue polyethylene/polypropylene film. This gives them a guaranteed seal during sterilization, makes them extremely easy to open without releasing fibres or tearing, and offers maximum microbial protection. If stored properly, they can be sterile for up to 6 months. In addition, the chemical colour indicators signal a successfully completed cycle in the autoclave, thus guaranteeing maximum safety for patients. Eurosteril® sterilization rolls are manufactured in full compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC (as amended by Directive 2007/47/EC) and the EN 868-5 standard.

Details of the changing chemical colour indicators: • steam method: pink colour turns brown after sterilization in an autoclave • EtO gas method with ethylene oxide: green colour turns yellow after sterilization in an autoclave Tips: • carefully examine the size of the items to be sterilized. No more than 3/4 of the volume of the packaging must be taken up by the contents; • make sure that there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the item to be sterilized and the seal; • the sealing strip must be at least 8 mm wide to conform with the EN 868-5 standard; • protect any sharp points with special covers; • use an absorbent gauze to prevent any lubricated turbines and wands from soaking the paper with oil; • when opening pouches, hold the paper side still and peel the film downwards to access the sterile instruments.
