Why SMS Material and ETO Sterilisation

SMS non-woven fabric is a layered material — spunbond, meltblown, spunbond — commonly chosen for disposable medical textiles because the outer spunbond layers give it strength and a soft handle, while the inner meltblown layer improves barrier performance against fluids. This makes it a practical choice for absorbent towels used in operating theatres, where a balance of durability and fluid resistance is needed. ETO (Ethylene Oxide) sterilisation is a standard, widely used method for sterilising disposable medical products that cannot tolerate high heat or moisture, making it a suitable process for non-woven fabric items like this towel.

Using the Sterilisation Indicator

The sterilisation indicator on the packaging changes appearance once the towel has been through the sterilisation cycle, giving operating theatre staff a fast visual check that the item is ready for use. As with any sterile disposable, staff should also check that the packaging is intact and undamaged before opening, since a compromised pack can affect sterility regardless of the indicator's reading.
