Product Description Autoclave Steam Medical Sterilization Indicator Tape is an essential accessory in the field of medical sterilization. It is specifically designed to provide a visual indication of whether a particular item or package has been subjected to proper autoclave steam sterilization. This tape typically changes color or displays a distinct mark when exposed to the specific temperature, pressure, and steam conditions within an autoclave. It is applied to the outside of sterilization pouches, packs, or wrapped instruments before they enter the autoclave. After the sterilization cycle is complete, medical personnel can easily check the tape. If the color change or mark is present as expected, it gives a preliminary indication that the sterilization process was likely successful. However, it should be noted that this tape is only a supplementary indicator and does not replace comprehensive sterility testing. It helps in streamlining the sterilization workflow by allowing quick identification of potentially sterilized and non - sterilized items, reducing the risk of using non - sterile medical equipment and enhancing overall patient safety and quality control in medical facilities.
