Bolsaplast Self-Sealing Sterilisation Pouches

Description

Bolsaplast BOLSAPACK self-sealable paper/film sterilisation pouches are designed for packaging medical devices and equipment prior to sterilisation. This flat, non-sterile range combines 60 g/m² medical-grade paper with a transparent blue-tinted plastic film, with the 9 x 23 cm size specifically listed as PET/PP film. The paper and film construction is intended to support reliable pack integrity while allowing visual identification of contents.

These pouches are suitable for steam, ethylene oxide (EO), and formaldehyde sterilisation processes. Printed chemical/process indicators are included for these methods, with cited sources noting that the indicators are printed under the seal and use water-based, non-toxic inks. The material design also supports low fibre shedding, resistance to film tearing, tensile strength, and controlled peelability during opening.
