Solutions Start with Tyvek®

Since its introduction to the industry in 1972, DuPont™ Tyvek® has been used in virtually every form of sterile medical packaging to protect a wide variety of products, including:  sutures; cardiovascular catheters; endoscopic instrumentation; surgical preparation kits; injection systems; electrosurgical accessories; and implantable devices.  
Tyvek® is also the material of choice for many custom medical packaging applications such as easy-opening packaging for injectable arthritis medication, double tray and lid packaging for ophthalmic implants and the gas generation pouch of a drug delivery system.

The reason why is simple. Tyvek® offers an optimum balance of microbial penetration resistance, tear strength, puncture resistance and clean peel.  And, unlike medical-grade papers and films, Tyvek® is compatible with all of the most commonly used sterilization methods.
