초록 ▼

A tamper-proof seal is disclosed for use in connection with sterilization containers. The seal includes a body portion including a sterilization indicating material and a tongue extending from the body portion. The tongue may be in the form of a laminate consisting of a pair of substantially inert outer layers sandwiching a high shrink inner layer. The tongue is designed to engage the latch mechanism of a sterilization container when the container is in the closed position and the latch mechanism is in a latched position. Upon exposure of the container to sterilization conditions, the tongue shrinks, causing the outer layers to fold upon themselves to form at least one pleat. The container latch mechanism cannot be opened without fracturing the tongue of the seal, thereby providing visible evidence of the latch mechanism being opened.

1. A method for safeguarding the sterility of a sterilization container having a base, a lid matable with the base in sealing engagement, and a latch mechanism having a latched position for locking the lid to the base and an unlatched position for releasing the lid for removal from the base, said method comprisingplacing articles to be sterilized into the base; closing the base with the lid; placing the latch mechanism in the latched position to lock the lid to the base; assembling a seal to the latch mechanism to obstruct the free movement of the latch mechanism from the latched position to the unlatched position, the seal having a body including a sterilization indicator material and a tongue having at least one end connected to the body and a free end; processing the container through a sterilization treatment, whereupon the tongue shrinks to maintain the latch mechanism in the latched position, and a property of the sterilization indicator material changes to indicate completion of sterilization; and moving the latch mechanism to the unlatched position to release the lid from the base, the movement of the latch mechanism from the latched position to the unlatched position breaking the tongue. 2. A method for safeguarding the sterility of a sterilization container having a base, a lid matable with the base in sealing engagement, and a latch mechanism having a latched position for locking the lid to the base and an unlatched position for releasing the lid for removal from the base, said method comprisingplacing articles to be sterilized into the base; closing the base with the lid; placing the latch mechanism in the latched position to lock the lid to the base; assembling a seal to the latch mechanism to obstruct the free movement of the latch mechanism from the latched position to the unlatched position, the seal having a body and a tongue having at least one end connected to the body and a free end; processing the container through a sterilization treatment, whereupon the tongue increases in thickness to maintain the latch mechanism in the latched position; and moving the latch mechanism to the unlatched position to release the lid from the base, the movement of the latch mechanism from the latched position to the unlatched position breaking the tongue. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the body includes a sterilization indicator material, a property of the sterilization indicator material changing upon the processing of the container through the sterilization treatment to indicate conclusion of sterilization.
