Ahlstrom’s Reliance® Crepe paper is a cost-effective solution for sterilization wrap, tray liner, and overwrap. Made with more than 97% of cellulosic fibers and wet strength agents, it meets all requirements for safe and reliable wrapping.
The cellulosic fibers in Reliance® crepe paper create a protective barrier – a complex surface [or best-in-class tortuous path] that inhibits penetration by bacteria. The material also absorbs moisture. Together, these properties maintain excellent sterility, keeping medical instruments and equipment free from contaminants.

Two versions for optimal performance
Reliance® Crepe paper is available in standard and sensitive versions. Reliance® Crepe Sensitive uses an offline micrexing process, which makes it softer with improved drapability. Reliance® Crepe papers also come in different colors and basis weights to accommodate various sterile barrier systems (SBS) requirements.
From the operating room to the planet, every choice matters. With our Reliance®, healthcare professionals can count on proven protection — and a cleaner, safer future.
