Product Details

Reliable Monitoring for Sterilization Assurance

JPS Medical's Autoclave Tape is an essential tool for CSSD and dental clinics. It serves two purposes: securely sealing sterilization packs and providing external chemical indication that the pack has been exposed to the sterilization process.

The lead-free ink technology ensures safety for healthcare workers and the environment, while the high-quality crepe paper backing allows for expansion and contraction during the steam cycle without popping open.
