MEDICAL PACKAGING MATERIAL AND PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A medical packaging substrate formed by hydroentangling a cellulosic-based web with a bonded spunbond web is provided by the present invention. The substrate is usable to form medical packages for surgical instruments, medical devices, and medical appliances. The fabric is gas-pervious so that gas sterilization techniques may be used to sterilize the contents of any package made from the material. The material is susceptible to being made bacterial-impervious so as to prevent the passage of bacteria within certain standards.
