ABSTRACT:
A container particularly adapted to sterilize and use for disposal of contaminated or infectious waste in hospitals, industrial laboratories, and the like. One embodiment of the container is illustrated in the form of a bag constructed from a nonwoven web of thermoplastic fibers. The web is pervious to sterilants but impervious to bacteria and may comprise a laminate of webs of spunbonded and microfibers thermoplastic polymers. The container may be in the form of a bag and contains an impervious section which may be formed by coating or coextruding a polymer film and a pervious section comprising the nonwoven web. In addition to sealing at both ends, the container is capable of being sealed by means of heat, adhesives, or the like between the two sections. In a particularly useful application, infectious or contaminated waste is positioned within the pervious section and the impervious section folded underneath. This combination is subjected to sterilization conditions after which the contents are moved to the impervious section and the impervious section is sealed off thus enclosing the contents in a sealed pouch which may be handled or further disposed with minimum risk of contact with the contents. An alternative embodiment is in the form of a box having a panel with an aperture covered with pervious material and adapted to be sealed with an impervious barrier layer.
