sterile barriers

Sterile barriers are protective covers or packaging that keep medical instruments or supplies free from bacteria, viruses, and dirt until use. Their purpose is to maintain a sterile environment, preventing infection during medical procedures. These barriers can include wraps, drapes, pouches, or sealed containers made from materials like plastic or cloth that are designed to block contaminants. Proper use and handling of sterile barriers are essential to ensure that the contents remain sterile, safeguarding patient health and ensuring safe medical practices.
