摘要

Doc Id: 5984066 Abstract Disclosed herein is a single step sterilization wrapping material (10) suitable for use, for example, in wrapping surgical instruments (18) and 5 supplies for sterilization, transportation and storage. Common wrapping techniques involve wrapping items (18) to be sterilized with two separate sheets of wrap. The present invention provides wraps (12, 14) which are joined (20, 22) to one another so as to permit wrapping and opening in a neat single step process which increases efficiency and saves time and 10 money. In special situations the outer wrap (12) can be engineered with increased strength, the inner wrap (14) with increased barrier properties and the inner (14) and outer (12) wraps can be made visually distinct from one another so that improper wrapping or opening is not a problem.
