Trays got heavier. Most wrap answered with more bulk.

As procedure trays have grown heavier and more complex, traditional heavyweight wrap has become harder to use. It can be difficult to handle, slow to dry, and prone to spring-back. Those inefficiencies strain sterile processing and put the O.R. schedule at risk.

Most heavyweight wrap reaches durability by adding basis weight, which only makes it stiffer and bulkier. ARMOR-FLEX* takes a different route.

  • Cuts, tears and holes are the number-one concern reported by wrap users, driven by heavier trays.
  • Residual moisture ranks second. Wet loads mean reprocessing, delays and cost.
  • Heavier trays are the loads that may be prone to wetness after sterilisation.
  • Bulk and spring-back make aseptic presentation harder and tire the team.

Greater strength, performance and protection.

ARMOR-FLEX* offers balanced protection with superior breach resistance. Where other heavyweight wrap leans on a higher basis weight for durability, our advanced hybrid technology reaches greater strength in a lighter construction. The result is a wrap that handles more easily, takes up less space, and holds up in both steam and low-temperature sterilisation.

It drapes to the tray instead of fighting back.

Precision-engineered for conformability, ARMOR-FLEX* drapes naturally to make wrapping simpler and support a smooth aseptic presentation. Greater flexibility gives the team more control and reduces fatigue, so there are fewer disruptions across the workflow, from the CSSD to the O.R.

Drying Assurance.

The amber inner layer features ASSURE-DRY* Technology, heat-activated during the steam sterilisation cycle to optimise moisture management. It sets a new standard in advanced moisture management, supporting fewer wet packs and more consistent drying. Because it works independently of airflow, drying stays consistent across a range of conditions.
