Key Surgical Indicator adhesive tape

The Key Surgical process indicator tape 144C indicates the successful sterilization process of medical devices and instruments by changing colour. The tape is made of saturated crepe paper with solvent-free adhesive and is used to seal disposable packaging before autoclaving. The green indicator color is lead-free and changes to black to indicate that sterilization has taken place. The sterilization tape can be easily removed from the packaging and is suitable for both gravity sterilizers and pre-vacuum sterilizers up to 135 °C.
