About This Product
A strip of tape is applied to the outside of a wrapped pack, bottle, tray or container before it goes into the autoclave. After the cycle, the visible stripes show that the item has been processed. Staff can also write the date, load number or class details on the tape for preparation-room records. Export supply of the Autoclave Tape 55m can be arranged to laboratories and schools in United States, Venezuela, Yemen, Tanzania and Qatar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does a striped tape prove that a pack is sterile? No. The stripes only show exposure to an autoclave cycle. Sterility depends on time, temperature, pressure, steam contact and load arrangement, backed by chemical or biological monitoring where required.
