Indicator Tape

Indicator tape is used during sterilization to secure packaging and indicate exposure to the sterilization process. This self-adhering autoclave tape features chemical indicator ink that changes color when exposed to steam sterilization, providing at a glance confirmation whether packs have been exposed to a sterilization process. Essential for dental offices, medical facilities, and surgical centers, indicator tape serves dual purposes—keeping sterilization wraps securely closed while offering immediate visual confirmation that items have been processed.

Our collection includes tape compatible with various sterilization methods, including steam cycles at 250°F (121°C) gravity and 270°F (132°C) prevacuum, as well as options for ethylene oxide gas sterilization that changes color when exposed to EO gas. These indicator tapes are designed to secure packs wrapped with woven, non-woven, crepe paper, cotton cloth and paper/plastic wraps. Healthcare professionals trust DoctorSupplies.com for reliable sterilization monitoring supplies that support infection control protocols and help maintain compliance with CDC and AAMI sterilization standards.
