Yes. All Surgilube® products are sterile until the seal is broken. Surgilube’s sterility helps prevent cross-contamination and hospital acquired infections.

To open aseptically, sanitize tube tip and cap prior to opening. For flip flop tubes, remove cap and peel off seal from tube orifice and replace the cap before using. For metal tubes, puncture tube tip with a sterile implement.

Once the packaging of any multi-use product has been opened, any unused portion should be discarded in accordance with internal facility guidelines on multi-use products. Single-use packets should be discarded immediately after use.

We do not guarantee sterility after the product is open.
