The sterilization of surgical equipment helps minimize infections to patients in hospitals. Single-use sterilization wraps are used for wrapping medical devices for sterilization. Single-use sterilization wraps provide protection to medical devices by promoting sterility. Single-use sterilization wraps are used for sequential wrapping technique.
Single-use sterilization wraps offer high protection against fluid and particles, are extremely resistant to wear and tear. Single-use sterilization wraps comes with bacterial filtration efficiency advanced than reusable wraps and has high microbial capture. The fabric of single-use sterilization wraps is made of cellulose pulp and non-woven polymers which offer sterilized tapes to adhere, ensuring completely closed wrap. Single-use sterilization wraps are available in various weights such as lightweight, regular, medium, heavy and super heavy weight.
Each weight of single-use sterilization wraps has its own blue color for easy differentiation going from lightweight and light blue to heavy weight and dark blue. When Single-use sterilization wraps are properly sealed, the shelf life of the wraps can be maintained up to 5 years. Single-use sterilization wraps are disposable after single use and are inexpensive as compared to sterilized containers.
The rise in global infection control market is expected to drive the market of single-use sterilization market.

Single-use sterilization wraps allow sterilization agent to penetrate and maintain the sterility of the processed item after sterilization.
The low cost of single-use sterilization wraps and construction of significant number of hospitals and surgery centers is expected to drive the single-use sterilization wraps in the future. Hospitals and surgery centers are expected to contribute to over 3% annual growth in single-use sterilization wraps market. Sterilization products among pharmaceutical companies, medical devices manufacturers and surgical procedures will help the single-use sterilization wraps market to flourish. Product specific factors of these wraps play a major role in driving the single-use sterilization wraps market.
Single-use sterilization wraps is made of polypropylene using a five layer (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond) process; the outer layers provide strength and durability. The inner Meltblown layers of the single-use sterilization wraps provide optimal barrier against bacteria and liquids while allowing penetration of steam and gas sterilants (ethylene oxide and plasma). The environmental burden for single-use sterilization wraps is lower as compared to reusable wraps. Reusable wraps consume 4.5 times as many resources as single-use sterilization wraps market.
The construction of numerous hospitals and surgery centers in North America is expected to drive the single-use sterilization wraps during the forecast period. Keeping the mortality rate in mind, hospitals are focusing on prevention techniques such as using disposables. In Europe only 40% of the hospitals use single-use sterilization wraps and the rest use sterilized containers.
Growing population in China and India accounts for a larger share of single-use sterilization wraps market as aging population point towards an increase in surgical procedures which will help single-use sterilization wraps market to set footprint in global infection control market in the coming years.
