SURFACTANT TREATMENT FOR A STERILIZATION WRAP WITH REDUCED OCCURRENCE OF WET PACKS AFTER STEAM STERILIZATION

摘要

The present disclosure describes a surfactant treatment for a polyolefinic nonwoven fabric used to wrap items to be sterilized. The surfactant treatment consists essentially of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The surfactant treated sterile wrap has a BFE after electret treatment and after sterilization of at least 97 percent. This treatment should produce fewer wet packs than the same fabric after electret treatment and after sterilization but without such surfactant treatment.
