TeknaPore™ 571

TeknaPore™ 571 offers top-tier protection, making it the optimal selection for medical device and pharmaceutical packaging demanding exceptional strength and a superior microbial barrier.

Moreover, TeknaPore™ 571 demonstrates compatibility with a wide array of sterilization methods.

  • Ethylene Oxide (EO or EtO)
  • Radiation (Gamma and electron beam)
  • Steam (under controlled conditions)
  • Low-temperature oxidative

Even under the most rigorous conditions in highly contaminated environments, TeknaPore™ 571 demonstrates exceptional resistance to bacterial spores and other contaminating microorganisms, consistently surpassing other commercially available porous medical packaging materials, including medical-grade papers.

TeknaPore™ 571 offers many benefits. These include:

  • Outstanding microbial barrier
  • High strength to weight ratio
  • Moisture resistance
  • Inertness to most chemicals
  • Air and water vapor permeability
  • Clean peel performance
  • Low linting due to continuous filaments
  • Puncture resistance for optimal protection during distribution and handling
  • Compatibility with many sterilization processes
