No Compromise. Because life matters.

DuPont™ Tyvek® Healthcare Packaging provides the tear resistance, durability, breathability, clean peel and superior microbial barrier to keep medical equipment and pharmaceuticals sterile throughout their lifecycle—protecting the health and well-being of millions without compromise.

Unlike medical-grade papers and films, Tyvek® is compatible with all of the most commonly used sterilization methods, including:

  • Ethylene Oxide (EO)
  • Radiation (Gamma and electron beam)
  • Steam under controlled conditions
  • Low-temperature oxidative

Tyvek® has been a trusted choice for medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as specialized sterile packaging suppliers worldwide for decades. As an important extension of that role, we are actively working to advance sustainability across the healthcare packaging value chain.
