McKesson Sterilization Wrap, 24 x 24 Inch, Grade 500

The heavier Grade 500 SMS polypropylene wrap — 24 x 24 inches of dual-layer protection engineered for heavier instrument loads and longer dry-storage windows, with the same two-color tray-assessment design that speeds inspection at the sterile field.

Grade 500 is the McKesson SMS polypropylene wrap to reach for when the load is heavier than typical, the storage window is longer, or the facility's QA process demands the extra barrier headroom. Same SMS three-layer build, same dual-layer two-color (white / blue) design, same 24 x 24 inch tray-friendly size — just a heavier weight class than Grade 400.

Key Benefits

• Heavier Grade 500 weight: Higher basis weight provides extra strength and shelf-life headroom for demanding loads.
• Two-color tray-assessment design: Opposing white and blue sides make orientation checks fast and consistent.
• Three-layer SMS build: Spunbond / meltblown / spunbond polypropylene for robust bacterial barrier.
• Robust aqueous and airborne barrier: Protects sterile contents against both contamination paths.
• Standard 24 x 24 inch size: Fits the typical surgical instrument tray with proper overhang.

Specifications

Choosing Between Grade 400 and Grade 500

Ideal For

• Heavier surgical loads: orthopedic, gyn, and bundled-set trays that need extra barrier headroom.
• Facilities with longer dry-storage windows: Grade 500 preserves sterility integrity longer.
• Hospital and ASC surgical CSSD: the premium daily wrap for higher-spec workflows.
• EO-gas-driven sterilization workflows: validated for ethylene oxide cycles.
• QA-stringent programs: when audit standards require the heavier wrap class.

Care & Compatibility

Single-use wrap validated for ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization. Follow your sterilizer manufacturer's parameters for cycle time and load configuration. Inspect each sheet visually before use and discard any wrap with tears, pin-holes, or visible contamination. Store sealed bags in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
