Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Ahlstrom, Finland, this week introduced its expanded interleaved Sterile Barrier Systems (SBS) offering, Ahlstrom Reliance® Tandem. The expansion introduces SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) technology to the offering.

Ahlstrom's sterile barrier systems are used in the central sterilization department in hospitals. Previously, its interleaved offering consisted of crepe and wetlaid technologies. Ahlstrom notes that it now offers a complete interleaved portfolio with the introduction of SMS into the Ahlstrom Reliance® Tandem portfolio. The portfolio uses Ahlstrom's newest technology, SMS, in combination with its existing technologies to provide an optimal combination of sterile barrier system sheets for sequential wrapping.

Ahlstrom Reliance® Tandem or interleaving is the concept of combining two layers of SBS sheets, each offering specialized performance for sequential wrapping. The two layers are used together to offer a high degree of flexibility in terms of performance, technology, and cost for different applications.
