The three-side-sealed bags include Tyvek on one side and HDPE or other film capable of withstanding EtO, radiation or steam sterilization on the other side. The seals are made via a proprietary process that doesn't allow excess heat to compromise Tyvek's integrity or cause it to become brittle or wrinkled. A bag can hold up to 10 lb of stoppers.
