			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wipak Medical &#8211; Steriking® Specialised Packaging for Hospital Sterilization</strong><br />
Wipak manufactures specialised packaging for hospital sterilization, including sterilization packaging materials, sterilization monitoring products and sealing equipment and accessory products for sterile supplies.</p>
<p>STERIKING® CLEAN PEEL, MULTI-X FILMS<br />
Steriking® Clean Peel range of see-through packaging, thanks to a unique Multi-X film, provides for a reliable processing and safe presentation of a packed item. In the modern multilayer film technology, featured in the Steriking® Multi-X films, it is possible to produce steam sterilizable plastic films that resist high temperatures but have high tensile strength. These films facilitate strong sealing properties against medical papers, preventing possible packaging bursting failure. The low incidence of bursting and tearing minimizes resterilization load and costs. <span id="more-133"></span></p>
<p>The two major sources of packaging failure are bursting during sterilization and/or film tear or paper shear when opening a package. Bursting of a pack can be caused e.g. by inadequate seal strength. The cause for tearing and shearing can be a low internal tensile strength of the film or paper. When exposed to heat upon sealing and sterilization processes, most plastic materials crystallize. This crystallization makes the material more brittle, thus reducing the tensile strength of the film.</p>
<p>STERILIZATION PACKS<br />
A well-designed and correctly used sterilization pack provides for effective sterilization and safe handling and storage of all items until the moment they are used. A pack must remain sealed against bacteria and facilitate aseptic presentation of the packaged product.</p>
<p>The Steriking® sterilization packagings are developed and designed to ensure optimal reliability of use in hospitals and other health care institutions. The sterile state of medical device, which is achieved through sterilization, is maintained with the help of a appropriate packaging.</p>
<p>The design, materials and manufacture of the packaging materials have to be compatible with the medical device to be packed, the handling processes of the medical device, the sterilization method to be used, the labelling systems and distribution and storage conditions as well. </p>
<p>SEE-THROUGH PACKAGING<br />
The Steriking® Clean Peel range of see-through packaging is a safe and convenient choice of a packaging material for hospital use. These are made of a medical grade paper that is heat sealed to a plastics film and are available as ready made pouches or tubing fit for the large variety of items in hospitals. The standard range is suitable for sterilization in steam and gas processes. The identification of packed instruments is easy because of the transparent plastic film. Thanks to the coloured film, it is possible to visually control the seal integrity.</p>
<p>The see-through packaging is a time saving concept in use. It is fast and easy to pack an item into a pouch and to close it by a heat sealer. The final pack creates an effective barrier against bacterial penetration and allows aseptic presentation of the packed item.</p>
<p>A UNIQUE CONTROL SHEET FOR SEAL QUALITY TEST<br />
Where medical devices are packed for sterilization the user is responsible for assuring the performance of the final closing seal of a package. Steriking® Seal Control is designed for operational qualification of the sealing process.</p>
<p>The critical parameters of a sealing process are temperature, time and pressure. Under the new standard ISO 11607-2: 2006 the following qualities of the seal should be controlled: intact seal for a specified width, channels or open seals, punctures or tears and material delaminating or splitting.</p>
<p>The Seal Control sheet accurately simulates see-through peel packages and provides users a practical tool for validation and documentation processes. It is exclusive designed and patented by Wipak.</p>
<p>WIPAK PRODUCT RANGE<br />
The Steriking® range of products offers a comprehensive selection of items to meet the needs of Operating Rooms and Sterile Supply service units in hospitals. The main groups of products are pouches, bags and rolls, paper and non woven sheets, chemical indicators, sealing machines and other accessory equipment.</p>
<p>Wipak manufactures packaging materials for food and medical applications. Widely respected in the research and pioneering development of new technologically advanced products, the Wipak philosophy is aimed to help achieve a safer and more environment friendly world. The quality system in accordance with ISO 9001 and the clean-room production facilities are Wipak Medical´s guarantee of the safety and reliability of its Steriking® products. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nichiyu Giken &#8211; Radiation Indicators for Interventional Radiology</strong><br />
Nichiyu Giken is an R&#038;D company that manufactures specialised radiation exposure tracking garments for use in healthcare environments.</p>
<p>Our RadiMap™ radiation exposure tracking garments provide indicators which show radiation exposure locations and approximate doses during Interventional Radiology (IVR) treatment. RadiMap garments are sure to become a new, useful management tool in radiology, significantly enhancing levels of safety and reliability in the healthcare sector.</p>
<p>As well as manufacturing radiation exposure tracking garments for use in interventional radiology, Nichiyu Giken also produces temperature indicators, ocean exploration equipment, thermite welding powders and moulds, power transmission failure indicators, reinforcement materials for construction work, rocket pyrotechnics and gas generators.<span id="more-131"></span></p>
<p>RADIMAP RADIATION EXPOSURE TRACKING GARMENTS<br />
In conducing IVR procedures, areas irradiated with X-rays vary with operation conditions such as the patient&#8217;s physical characteristics and the location of IVR operation. While the total amount of irradiated X-rays can be measured using special-purpose instruments, the amount of exposure on different parts of the patient&#8217;s body is difficult to assess.</p>
<p>RadiMap products address these problems. Chemical indicators, which are directly attached to our specially developed RadiMap cap and vest, show the location where maximum exposure to X-rays has occurred during an IVR procedure.</p>
<p>By referring to reference colour charts provided by the manufacturer and comparing colour changes, the radiation dosage allowed for a patient in an IVR operation can be calculated.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<p>RadiMap is manufactred in two designs: RadiMap vest (VX-B) and RadiMap cap (CX-B)<br />
Any change in the colour of the indicators shows the patient&#8217;s exposure to radiation during an IVR procedure<br />
Does not require X-ray film processing. Exposure is easily visible immediately afterwards<br />
The radiation-sensitive indicators are directly attached on the RadiMap cap and vest, allowing ease in handling<br />
The RadiMap cap, vest and, radiation-sensitive indicators are not obtrusive. They have no effect on radiology and will not in any way interfere with the IVR procedure<br />
The operator can estimate the location and approximate radiation dose on the head or the back, since RadiMap garments follow the contour of these body parts<br />
The colour of the RadiMap indicators changes from the original yellow, within the X-ray energy range of 70-150kV, corresponding with the intensity of the radiation<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ahlstrom &#8211; Sterile Barrier Systems</strong><br />
Ahlstrom Sterile Barrier Systems (SBS) are at the forefront of patient safety and the upholding of international guidelines and universal precautions. Our fabrics are designed to protect a wide variety of medical devices.</p>
<p>Ahlstrom advanced sterile barrier systems are designed to accommodate a wide variety of medical devices ranging in size and weight. Our products maintain optimal integrity during all phases of gamma radiation, steam sterilization &#8211; pre-vacuum, air removal, steam penetration holding time and drying cycle &#8211; and are fully permeable to Ethylene Oxide (EtO), without impeding aeration.<span id="more-129"></span></p>
<p>NONWOVEN STERILE BARRIER SYSTEMS<br />
Ahlstrom&#8217;s advanced fabrics have been created through the experience and expertise of our team, continuous research and development, and the utilization of new technologies. Our range of fabrics comprises the most economic crepe paper to the most stringent wetlaid nonwovens and spunmelt composites (SSMMS) products.</p>
<p>Uniformity is a key advantage, enabling immediate detection of pinholes. Controlled nonwoven construction provides unsurpassed fabric uniformity. This, together with interleaved products, enables immediate detection of pinholes or damage that put package integrity and the sterility of contents at risk. Ahlstrom sterile barrier systems also resist damage from scuffing and rubbing, thereby providing the lowest lint generation in their class.</p>
<p>SINGLE-USE AND MEMORY-FREE STERILISATION WRAPS<br />
Ahlstrom sterile barrier systems are classified as a single-use wrapping material and are proven to be cost-effective. The case against re-use is centered on patient safety, as medical packaging could be used in potential contamination situations and should be treated accordingly.</p>
<p>Ahlstrom&#8217;s sterilization wraps are memory-free for a reduced risk of contamination. When packages wrapped in Ahlstrom nonwoven fabrics are opened they stay open, without closing back along crease lines. This allows pack contents to be removed more safely and with reduced risk of contamination.</p>
<p>The single-use materials of choice in all operating rooms, Ahlstrom medical fabrics can be tailored to the needs of any particular situation. Ahlstrom has the broadest portfolio of single-use technologies for the medical arena allowing our team to develop the best solution to your product demands.</p>
