  Is your packaging maintaining sterility after sterilization?

As prevention of healthcare associated infection (HAI) becomes more important, hospitals are asking questions about the protection provided by medical device packaging after sterilization.

To assist device manufacturers with the prevention of HAI, Porex has developed P3 Technology. It is a new venting capability for ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization in medical device packaging applications. The initial offering will be specialty porous PTFE membranes that are outstanding sterile barriers with high airflow. Compared to flashspun high-density polyethylene, the porous structure of PTFE is more uniform. POREX P3 Technology can help improve the EtO sterilization efficiency and maintain medical device sterility after sterilization.
