Ahlstrom unveils Reliance Fusion: a major innovation in sterilization wraps at Arab Health 2024

This participation marks a first for the company, which, after having visited the show several times as a visitor, seized the opportunity to present its products as a France Pavilion exhibitor.  The company will thus be able to meet new partners and strengthen its international presence as a leader in sterilization wraps manufacturing, material for surgical drapes and gowns manufacturers and for collection cards (blood, DNA, etc.) manufacturers.

RELIANCE FUSION: sterilization wraps synonymous with transformation and expertise

The product incorporates the optimal properties of cellulose and polypropylene materials, in the form of a double-layer wrap. The inner layer, made of a highly absorbent cellulose-based sheet, is unique and patent pending. This progress makes it possible to absorb any residual moisture that may occur at the end of a steam sterilization cycle. This extended absorbing capacity makes it possible to reduce the drying time of a steam sterilisation cycle by 30-40%. The outer layer, made of 100% SMS polypropylene, forms a sterile barrier to protect against micro-organisms.

The problem of residual moisture, also known as a wet pack, can lead to the surgical team systematically rejecting the operating tray when it is opened, which is thus tackled with a precision approach by Ahlstrom. The slightest drop of water, a potential vehicle for micro-organisms and a sign of a faulty sterilisation process, can have serious repercussions in terms of costs, as well as postponing an operation. In the interest of efficiency, Ahlstrom combines the best technologies to offer a high-performance solution with Reliance Fusion
