Abstract: A sterile barrier system for medical device packaging. The sterile barrier system includes a layer forming a breathable sterile barrier. The layer includes a plurality of fibers. Each of the fibers includes a hollow fiber body and an agent contained within the hollow fiber body. The fibers are configured such that the agent flows from the corresponding hollow fiber body when the hollow fiber body is severed. When the sterile barrier system is subjected to damage, the agent is released from any hollow fiber body severed by the damage and imparts one or both of repair or visual indication of a possible integrity breach. In some embodiments, the agent is a self-healing agent. In other embodiments, the agent is a dye. In some embodiments, the layer is an electrospun web. A medical device packaged in a sterile barrier system is also provided.
