Abstract
The present invention comprises a sterilizing wrap system comprising a base having a support surface and a first sealing surface spaced from the support surface, the support surface supports at least one object requiring sterilization. A wrap is sized to engage the first sealing surface of the base to define a volume encompassing the support surface and the spaced first sealing surface of the base. A first seal maintains a sealed interface between the wrap and the first sealing surface.
Claims21
A sterilizing wrap system comprising:
- a base having a support surface and a first sealing surface, the support surface configured to support at least one object requiring sterilization;
- a wrap sized to overlie the first sealing surface of the base and the object requiring sterilization to define a volume encompassing the support surface and the spaced first sealing surface of the base;
- and
- a first seal for maintaining a sealed interface between the wrap and the first sealing surface, wherein the wrap includes a first portion of a first material having an area for encompassing at least the support surface, and a second portion of a second material having an area for encompassing at least the first sealing surface of the base.
A single-use sterilizing wrap system for use in the sterilization of objects requiring sterilization, the system comprising:
- (a) a rigid base formed of a material adapted to withstand exposure to a sterilizing agent without degradation, the base having a support surface having a portion for retaining objects a perimeter edge, and a first sealing surface on at least one of the support surface or the perimeter edge;
- (b) a wrap sized to overlap the support surface and having a perimeter edge corresponding with the perimeter edge of the support surface of the base;
- and
- (c) a sealing interface between the wrap and the first sealing surface configured to form, a seal between the wrap and the base, wherein the wrap includes a first portion of a first material having an area for encompassing at least the support surface, and a second portion of a second material having an area for encompassing at least the first sealing surface of the base.
