Abstract: A breathable package that allows a device or object disposed in the package to be sterilized, and maintains the sterile condition until the package is opened at the point of use. The package also provides a visual indication that the package seal integrity has not been compromised or that the package has been compromised or breached. The package includes a first material, such as a film, and a second non-woven material, such as non-woven high density polyethylene, that form opposing sides of the package.

Abstract: A sealing element that visually indicates when a sealing element has been opened or corrupted without destruction of the seal. Ultraviolet light passes through a scattering layer and is absorbed by a fluorescing layer, the fluorescing layer reemitting the light in the visual spectrum and thereby allowing a user to inspect the integrity of the sealing element without otherwise destroying the seal.
