presterilized
Cleaned before packaging
Presterilized describes something that has been sterilized before being sold or used, eliminating the need for the user to sterilize it themselves.
The term appears most often with medical supplies and laboratory equipment: presterilized syringes, presterilized culture dishes.
Baby bottles and food containers may also come presterilized for convenience and safety.
