Greater material strength ensures the integrity of the sterilisation process


The largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies and services in the US, Medline is introducing Gemini wrap, the next generation of sterilisation wrap shown to have greater material strength to ensure the integrity of the sterilisation process.

In an independent, side-by-side strength test, Medline’s new Gemini wrap, constructed with 100% polypropylene (PP), was shown to have greater material strength to resist punctures and tears compared with the sterilisation wrap of its closest competitor.

The wrap can be used with all major sterilisation cycles, including pre-vacuum steam cycles, gravity steam cycles and ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilisation.

Offered in five weight grades from lightweight to super heavyweight, the Gemini wrap is also available in a dual colour wrap, which can help differentiate between instrument sets. Sydney Nye, VP of clinical services, Medline, said: ‘Gemini surgical wrap provides peace of mind with demonstrated greater material strength that provides an effective barrier against contaminants to preserve and maintain sterility.’
