Safmed Autoclave Tape 24mm x 50m — Sterilization Indicator Tape
Safmed Autoclave Tape (24mm x 50m, 1 unit) is a reliable steam autoclave indicator tape designed for hospitals, clinics, dental practices, laboratories and veterinary clinics.

- Clinic-ready size: 24mm width and 50m length—economical roll for consistent use in CSSD, dental and medical settings.
- Versatile application: Use on instrument trays, sterilization pouches, wraps and boxes for easy pack identification.
- Cost-effective: Bulk length reduces roll changes and inventory handling in busy sterilization departments.
Ingredients and Materials
Durable paper (cellulose-based) carrier with steam-reactive ink (heat-sensitive indicator dye) and pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. Backing release liner where applicable. Non-toxic under normal use. Designed specifically for steam autoclave (gravity or pre-vacuum) cycles.
How to Use
- Cut or tear required length from the 24mm x 50m roll.
- Apply tape across the opening of a sterilization pouch or around an instrument tray/workpack so the indicator stripe is clearly visible.
- Process in a steam autoclave following your facilitys validated cycle parameters.
- After completion, confirm the indicator stripe has changed colour (typically from light to dark/black) showing exposure to steam. Note: This is a process indicator only and does not guarantee sterility.
Who Its For
Suitable for Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSD), hospitals, dental clinics, medical practices, laboratories, tattoo and beauty studios, veterinary clinics and any facility using steam sterilization. Ideal for sterile packaging control and workflow organization.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For external process indication only. A colour change indicates exposure to sterilizing conditions but is not a guarantee of sterility. Do not use as a substitute for biological or chemical integrators when required by protocol. Keep away from direct flame and extreme heat. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight between 5C and 25C. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of according to facility waste procedures.
