A flexible, sterilizable pouch includes a first gas-impermeable web, a second gas-permeable web, and the third gas-impermeable web. The webs are arranged and sealed to form a cavity portion of the pouch and a header portion of the pouch. The header portion of the pouch is gas-permeable through the second gas-permeable web. The cavity portion of the pouch is configured to hold a medical device for sterilization and is configured to be sealed from the header portion after sterilization, thereby making the cavity portion gas-impermeable. The header is also configured to be removed from the pouch, leaving the cavity portion.

Sterilizable multilayer material (1), in particular for packaging at least one device for medical use, comprising a non-thermofusible sheet (2) sandwiched between two lower and upper thicknesses (3, 4) of thermofusible material of at least one thermofusible sheet (F), these thicknesses of thermofusible material being welded together across the non-thermofusible sheet.

A temperature-protective package includes a rigid container configured to receive a temperature-sensitive product. A flexible liner is attached to the rigid container such that a pocket is formed between the rigid container and the flexible liner. Phase change material (PCM) is situated in the pocket. The PCM conforms to a contoured surface of the rigid container. In an alternative implementation, a temperature-sensitive package includes a pocket of PCM within a flexible liner. The flexible liner defines a preferred shape of the temperature-protective package. The flexible liner also defines an opening for receiving a product. The opening corresponds to the preferred shape. In one implementation, multiple flexible liners can be utilized to define the preferred shape and the opening.

A multi-layer bag comprising a porous portion configured to allow a sterilizing gas to penetrate into the bag and a gas-impervious portion, characterized in that the gas-impervious portion comprises an outer layer, an inner layer and an intermediate layer integrally formed together so that the intermediate layer is sealingly enclosed between the outer layer and the inner layer so as to be physically isolated from inner and outer environment of the bag, and the intermediate layer comprises a matrix and at least one pigment distributed within the matrix, the pigment being configured to change at least one optical property in reaction to an environment change resulting from a damage of the outer and/or inner layer.

Packaging for the sterile storage and transport of objects for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications and a packaging process are provided. The packaging includes at least one bag made of a first and a second web, bonded to one another, a feature thereof being that the first web consists of a selectively permeable nonwoven fabric and that the second web consists of a laminated film with at least three layers, where the first layer is a polymer film arranged on the external side of the bag, the second layer is a lamination adhesive and the third layer is a polymer film arranged on the internal side of the bag. At least one of the layers of the second web includes one or more pigments. In an 8-bit greyscale image, the seal seam, imaged in transmitted light and contrast-standardized, is depicted within a greyscale value range of 50-200.

A biological containment and transport carrier apparatus for use with an equipment table in an operating room, including a base layer having an inner surface and an opposing outer surface, a top layer having an inner surface and an opposing outer surface, a perimeter of the top layer being coupled to a perimeter of the base layer to form a sealed bag, an inner seam portion formed between the base layer and the top layer, the inner seam portion having a length and width dimension configured to respectively match a length and a width dimension of a top surface of an equipment table in an operating room, and a zipper formed within the top layer to open and close an insertion flap of the top layer so as to provide access to the inner seam portion such that when the zipper is open, at least a portion of the inner seam portion is configured to fold inside out over a top surface of the table and wrap around one or more outer edges of the table and extend a predetermined distance below the bottom surface of the table to secure the base layer to the table and to provide a sterile margin, or drape portion, around the table, and to provide a custom fit for the table to allow for sterile use in procedure of setup packs with reduced exposure of contaminated surfaces.

A sterilization pouch that includes a perimeter, a first end, a second end, a length extending from the first end to the second end, a first side, a second side, a width extending from the first side to the second side, a first layer, a second layer bonded to the first layer along a portion of the perimeter to define a pouch having an opening and an interior space for receiving an article therein, a first interior sterilization indicator that changes from a first color state to a second color state when exposed to a sterilization condition, the first interior sterilization indicator being disposed between the first layer and the second layer, being disposed along a major portion of the length of the pouch, being disposed along a major portion of the width of the pouch, or being disposed along both a major portion of the length of the pouch and along a major portion of the width of the pouch, the sterilization indicator being visible through the first layer.
