Sterile Gauze Swabs 5 X 5

We stipulate the validity of Sterile gauze swabs 5 x 5 shall be 3 years, although the actual sterilization effect might be more than 3 years.

Without special requirement, gauze swabs are sterilized by EO gas.

Ethylene oxide sterilizing device is the key equipment of one-time sterile medical equipment manufacturing enterprises. There are special requirements for installation, operation and management. Ethylene oxide is used as sterilizer. Ethylene oxide is a broad-spectrum sterilizer, which can kill various microorganisms, including spores, tuberculosis bacteria, bacteria, viruses, fungi and so on, at room temperature.

At present, ethylene oxide is widely used to sterilize medical devices. Ethylene oxide is a flammable and explosive poisonous gas with C2H4O molecular formula and aromatic ether odor. Its relative density is 0.884 and boiling point is 10.8 degrees C at 4 degrees C. Its density is 1.52g/cm3. It is easy to volatilize into gas at room temperature. When the concentration is too high, it can cause explosion.

The advantages: 

1. It can kill all microorganisms, including bacterial spores. 

2. Sterilized articles can be wrapped and encapsulated as a whole, so that they remain sterile before use. 

3. Relatively speaking, EO does not corrode plastics, metals and rubber, and does not make articles yellow and brittle.

 4. It can penetrate irregular objects and sterilize them. It can be used for sterilization of articles which can not be sterilized by soaking in disinfectant, dry heat, pressure, steam and other chemical gases.
