PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sterilization indicator capable of suppressing leakage of a soluble body into an autoclave.SOLUTION: The sterilization indicator comprises an acceptor part for accepting a soluble body, a support body extending in a first direction in a plane view and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a sucking-up body disposed so as to contact at least one part of the soluble body and extending in the first direction, and a cover body covering the soluble body and the sucking-up body and disposed on the support body. A hole is provided at least on the cover body, is positioned at a further first direction side than a center of the acceptor part, is disposed nearer to an end of the acceptance part than a minimum distance d1 between the end of the acceptance part and an end of the cover body, and is apart from the end of the acceptance part by greater than a maximum outer diameter r of the hole.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】オートクレーブ中に可溶体の漏れの発生を抑制できる滅菌インジケータを提供する。【解決手段】滅菌インジケータは、可溶体を受容する受容部が設けられ、平面視にて第１の方向と第１の方向に直交する第２の方向とに延在する支持体と、可溶体の少なくとも一部に接するように設けられ、第１の方向に延在する吸上体と、可溶体及び吸上体を覆うと共に支持体上に設けられるカバー体と、を備える。少なくともカバー体に孔が設けられ、孔は、受容部の中心よりも第１の方向側に位置し、受容部の縁から、受容部の縁とカバー体の縁との間の最小距離ｄ１よりも近接して設けられ、受容部の縁から、孔の最大外形ｒよりも離間する。【選択図】図２
