2″ Medical Disposable Sterilization Tyvek® Rolls are a versatile packaging material used for wrapping instrument sets or trays that are too large for standard pouches. Tyvek® is a superior material for creating custom-sized sterile barriers.
Technical Specifications & Material Science: The roll consists of a continuous sheet of DuPont™ Tyvek®, a spunbonded olefin material made from high-density polyethylene fibers. It is strong, tear-resistant, low-linting, and breathable—allowing sterilization agents (steam, EO gas) to penetrate while providing an excellent bacterial barrier post-sterilization. The 2-inch (5 cm) width is a common, practical size for wrapping multiple instruments or small kits. The material is water-resistant but not waterproof, and it cannot be used in liquid chemical sterilants.
Industry Standards & Compliance: Tyvek® for medical packaging meets ISO 11607 and EN 868 standards. It is a validated material for use in steam and ethylene oxide sterilization cycles.
Application Scenarios: Used in Central Sterile Supply (CSSD) and larger dental clinics to wrap surgical instrument sets, trays of orthodontic pliers, or cassettes of periodontal instruments. It is often used in conjunction with sterilization wrap (a larger, non-woven fabric) for larger sets or as the primary wrap for smaller bundles.
Usage Guidelines: Cut a length of Tyvek® from the roll. Use a sequential folding technique (e.g., square fold) to enclose the instrument set, creating a secure package. The final flap is secured with autoclave indicator tape. The package is then sterilized. The Tyvek® maintains sterility until the package is opened at the sterile field.
Market Value Proposition: Tyvek® rolls offer flexibility and superior performance compared to standard paper. For suppliers servicing larger clinics, dental schools, or surgical centers, offering genuine Tyvek® rolls meets the demand for high-quality, reliable sterilization packaging for instrument sets. The 2″ size is particularly useful for orthodontic and surgical kits, making it a specialized but important product in the dental sterilization supply chain.
