CliniEco Medical Autoclave Tape — Sterilization Indicator Tape, 3-Roll Set
Steam indicator tape at $19.99 for a 3-roll set — dual-color-change verification for 121°C and 134°C cycles. Each roll pairs a crepe paper backing with a heat-resistant adhesive and ISO 11140-1 Class 1 indicator stripes that change color irreversibly after steam exposure — the 1″ × 60 yd format Canadian clinics know. Seal and label wraps, packs and pouches before every autoclave run; compatible with all steam autoclaves.

How far does a 3-roll set of indicator tape go?
Each roll is 1 inch wide and 60 yards long, which is about 55 metres, so the set carries roughly 165 metres of tape. Tape disappears faster than most clinics expect because it is used twice on many packs — once across the fold as a seal, once as a strip carrying the date and the cycle. That is why the honest planning figure is packs per roll, not rolls per month.
How much tape does one pack take?
Count a 10 cm strip across the pouch fold plus a 2 cm strip for the label and you are at about 12 cm per pack. At forty packs a day that is 4.8 metres a day, so one roll lasts about eleven working days and a three-roll set covers a little over a month of that volume. A clinic running two sterilizers will double it, which is when the case quantity stops being a storage decision and becomes the normal order.
What does the tape cost per roll and per metre?
| Order | Rolls | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3-roll set | 3 | $19.99 |
| Case of 10 sets | 30 | $159.92 |
$19.99 ÷ 3 = $6.66 a roll, and $19.99 ÷ 164.6 m = $0.12 a metre; the ten-set case brings it to $5.33 a roll and $0.10 a metre. At 12 cm per pack that is about one and a half cents of tape on each pack — small enough that the tape should be chosen on behaviour, not on price: hand-tear crepe backing that sticks to paper and film, adhesive that holds through a 134°C pre-vacuum cycle, and a colour change that cannot be argued with.
What does the colour change prove, and what does it not?
These rolls carry ISO 11140-1 Class 1 indicator stripes, which darken after exposure to steam at either 121°C gravity or 134°C pre-vacuum. That tells you a pack has been through a cycle and tells you nothing about whether steam reached the inside of the pack, because the stripe sits on the outside. Penetration is the job of an internal indicator: a Class 5 steam integrator inside the pack for routine loads, and a Bowie-Dick test pack for the daily air-removal check on a pre-vacuum sterilizer. A tape stripe that has turned is the start of the record, not the end of the argument.
Where does the strip go on the pack, and what gets logged?
Seal the folded edge with one strip, then mark the pack with date, cycle and sterilizer on the second. The log then carries the same four fields as any other pack — date, cycle, sterilizer, contents — and the tape on the pack is what makes the log checkable in a drawer six months later. Print the sterilization log sheet or build your own with the log generator; if an inspector has questioned your pack labelling, ask a sterilization compliance specialist what the requirement actually says.

Common questions
How does the indicator work?
The stripes use ISO 11140-1 Class 1 chemical ink that changes color irreversibly from light beige to dark brown/black when exposed to steam at sterilization temperature.
Which cycles does it cover?
Steam sterilization: 121°C gravity-displacement and 134°C (132–135°C) pre-vacuum cycles — the two standard autoclave cycles in Canadian clinics.
Is this tape for EO sterilization?
No — EO tape is a separate product line with different chemistry. This tape is for steam sterilization only.
How many cases does a small clinic use per month?
A single-sterilizer practice following Ontario RCDSO daily monitoring needs about 40 indicators a month (1 per working day + 1 control, × 20 days) — so one 50-pack covers roughly 5 weeks. A two-sterilizer practice doubles that.
