How to choose medical packaging bags?

When choosing medical packaging bags, you need to consider material properties, sterilization compatibility and actual application requirements. As a protective barrier for medical sterilization equipment, the primary function of medical packaging bags is to ensure the effectiveness of the sterilization process and maintain the sterility of the equipment. Therefore, products that meet international standards such as ISO 11607 need to be selected.

In terms of materials, medical packaging bags are usually made of high-barrier materials such as composite films or Tyvek. They must have tear-resistant and anti-permeation properties, and can withstand high temperature, high pressure, ethylene oxide and other sterilization methods to avoid rupture or material denaturation during sterilization. Secondly, the sealing strength of medical packaging bags directly affects the reliability of the sterile barrier. It is recommended to use professional equipment to test the uniformity and peel strength of the heat seal to ensure that there are no bubbles or wrinkles in the seal.

In addition, attention should be paid to the microbial barrier ability of the packaging bag. Its antibacterial performance can be verified through third-party testing to avoid later contamination due to micropores or material defects. For special instruments such as sharp objects, medical packaging bags need to consider puncture resistance to prevent packaging damage during transportation or storage. In clinical applications, it is also necessary to select medical packaging bags of appropriate specifications according to the size of the instrument to avoid excessive folding or insufficient space affecting the sterilization effect.

Finally, it is recommended to choose medical packaging bags with color-changing sterilization indicator labels to facilitate intuitive judgment of sterilization status and reduce the risk of operational errors. By scientifically evaluating material properties, sterilization compatibility and clinical scenario adaptability, it can ensure that medical packaging bags improve work efficiency while ensuring medical safety.
