Patent ID: 11518600

Abstract:
A sterilizable pouch includes at least one sheet, wherein outer peripheral edges of the at least one sheet are sealed together to define a pouch having an interior space for receiving an article therein. A first releasable seam spans between a first peripheral edge of the at least one sheet to a second, opposite, peripheral edge of the at least one sheet, the first releasable seam dividing the at least one sheet into a first sheet part and a second sheet part. A second releasable seam and a third releasable seam each substantially span from a third peripheral edge of the at least one sheet to a fourth, opposite, peripheral edge of the at least one sheet and along the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge, respectively. The second and third releasable seams are arranged generally perpendicular to the first releasable seam, where the first, second and third releasable seams enable the pouch to be completely opened such that a device can be removed from the pouch without the device contacting non-sterile portions of the pouch.
