EtO
EtO Sterilization of Packaging Materials
Ethylene Oxide or EO, or EtO, is a gas sterilization process that has three basic components: Pre-conditioning, Sterilization and Aeration. Packaging selection is critical for success. Having the ideal breathable area combined with the right companion films is essential. All in One processes, Rapid Cycles and Cold processes each require separate considerations. Breathable pouches, film and foil header bags, Tyvek® to Tyvek® pouches are all available from Beacon.
