The invention provides a device comprising a sealed interior portion with at least one opening covered by a sterilization barrier formed from a non-porous material allowing a sterilization gas to penetrate but prevents germs from penetrating. The size and configuration of the at least one sterilization barrier formed from a non-porous material are adapted to allow at least 50% of the sterilization gas, that would pass between a sterilization gas-containing exterior and the sealed interior portion when a pressure difference is created there between, to pass through the non-porous material.
