SÜDPACK Medica has announced its MedHub service, allowing customers to order pre-made pouches in standard sizes and defined batch quantities by phone, email, or online. The pouches are said to be manufactured in ISO-certified cleanrooms and fulfill the stringent quality requirements of the healthcare industry.
MedHub aims to offer a solution for medical facilities and suppliers needing standard pouches quickly for efficient, secure product packaging. At its facility operated in ISO 7 in Coulmer, France, SÜDPACK Medica states it has streamlined its operations to enable prompt order handling and fast shipment of stocked products.
Apparently, the pre-made pouches can be used to package products such as stoppers, filters, or connectors and used as transfer packaging for items such as glass vials, ampoules, or syringes for administering liquid parenterals like infusions, which must remain sterile prior to filling. The current portfolio focuses on three-side seal pouches made from film and Tyvek, said to be sterilizable, puncture-resistant, and highly resistant to moisture.
SÜDPACK Medica says the pouches provide ‘excellent barrier properties’ for maximum product protection and allow fast, clean opening, even in high-pressure environments, thanks to the material’s superior peelability. For heavier products, SÜDPACK offers three-side seal pouches made of PA/PE in various sizes, featuring a microbial barrier and suitable for gamma sterilization.
Last year the company unveiled its mono-polypropylene blister solution for dietary supplement packaging, intending to align with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation’s recyclability requirements while maintaining contact safety and product performance. Customers can reportedly implement contact-safe recyclate into their blister packs using SÜDPACK’s chemical and mechanical recycling processes.
Also in the healthcare packaging space, Nextek revealed its participation in a four-year project aiming to develop circular solutions to reduce waste and carbon emissions in primary and secondary healthcare and pharmaceutical packaging. The SusPack project hopes to advance sustainable medicines manufacturing in the UK, addressing waste reduction, emissions control and energy efficiency.
