Catheter & Medical Consumables Packaging

Packaging for catheters and sensitive medical consumables requires consideration of device geometry, mechanical performance, sterilization method, material construction and package-opening performance. PA/PE-based forming films, coated medical papers and medical kraft sterilization papers support package integrity, reliable seal performance, reliable machinability and consistent web handling on high-speed lines during processing.

For irregularly shaped devices, a suitable forming-film construction supports controlled thermoforming and supports application-specific puncture resistance. Compatibility with ethylene oxide and gamma sterilization should be verified for the selected film, paper, coating system and sterilization parameters. Porous medical papers, when appropriately specified, support sterilant penetration during EO sterilization.

Forming-film options for catheters and elongated medical devices.
Material alternatives for ethylene oxide and gamma sterilization processes.
Coated and uncoated medical sterilization paper options.
Controlled heat-seal performance with compatible paper and film constructions.
Controlled peel behaviour helping reduce fiber tear and particle generation during package opening.

Technical Information

Product Advantages

Controlled Forming & Mechanical Protection: Suitable PA/PE forming-film constructions support controlled thermoforming for long devices such as catheters while helping reduce the risk of puncture and mechanical damage.

Reliable Seal Integrity: Compatible coated medical paper and film constructions support repeatable heat-seal performance and seal integrity under validated sealing parameters.

Controlled, Clean Opening: Suitable material combinations and sealing conditions support controlled peel performance and help reduce the risk of fiber tear and particle generation during package opening.

Applications

Sterile barrier packaging for catheters, cannulas, tubing and elongated single-use medical devices.
Thermoformed packaging systems combining a thermoformable bottom-web forming film with a compatible top-web lidding material.
Medical packaging applications with verified compatibility for ethylene oxide or gamma sterilization.
Medical consumables packaging requiring controlled forming, sealing and opening performance on high-speed packaging lines.
