Description: Infection control depends on more than just a perfect cycle printout. After sterilization, the sterile barrier system (SBS) must prevent entry of microbes, survive transit and storage, and allow clinicians to open packages aseptically at the point of use. Sterilization reels (continuous paper/film or Tyvek®/film reels cut to size and sealed at both sides) play a critical role in this chain.
