CHEMICAL STEAM INDICATOR STRIPS

Chemical steam indicator strips are essential tools used in healthcare and laboratory settings to monitor and verify the effectiveness of the steam sterilization process. These strips are made of specially designed paper or tape impregnated with heat-sensitive chemicals that undergo a color change when exposed to high temperatures and steam.

During the sterilization process, these indicator strips are placed inside packs or pouches containing medical instruments, equipment, or other items to be sterilized. They serve as visual indicators to ensure that sufficient heat and steam penetration have occurred to kill harmful microorganisms and achieve proper sterilization.
