Indicator Tape is a specialized pressure-sensitive tape designed to provide visual confirmation that sterilization processes have been completed successfully. Manufactured using high-quality crepe paper or medical-grade backing material with heat-sensitive chemical indicator ink, the tape changes color when exposed to specific sterilization conditions such as steam, ethylene oxide (EO), or dry heat. It is widely used for sealing sterilization packs and identifying processed instruments in hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and healthcare institutions.
