7.2Opening the Sterile Container

Stratos CRT-Ps are packaged in two plastic containers, one within the other. Each is individually sealed and then sterilized with ethylene oxide. Due to the double packing, the outside of the inner container is sterile and can be removed using standard aseptic technique and placed on the sterile field.
