Vis-U-All Low Temperature Sterilization Pouch/Tubing

The Vis-U-All Low Temperature Sterilization Pouches/Tubing are sterilization containment pouches for use by health care providers to enclose:

• medical devices in a single or double pouch configuration

• trays* containing medical devices in a single or double pouch configuration

• small items requiring surface sterilization in a single pouch configuration within a tray*

to be sterilized in the Lumen, Non Lumen and Flexible Cycles of the V-PRO Low Temperature Sterilization Systems. The pouches maintain the sterility of the enclosed devices until used.

When used to enclose medical devices, the pouches are intended to contain the devices in such a manner as to leave a minimum of one inch between the devices and seal on all sides. When used to enclose a tray, the tray must fit loosely within the pouch.
