I am new to medical device packaging. Why do so many products have porous windows in their packaging even though they are not gas-sterilised?
Products that might be exposed to low atmospheric pressure, such as the pressure that occurs when an unpressurised aircraft makes an emergency ascent or when a product travels up a high mountain, must have a means of equalising interior and exterior pressure if the seals are not to be stressed. Peel seals may fail when the packaged air expands in a nonporous package.
