An integrated evaluation of plastic packaging forms for standard infusion solutions
Introduction
Standard solutions dominate the infusion market. Packaging of solutions be safe, cost efficient and user friendly.
Main requirements such as the following need to be met in a safe and reliable way.
- Storage
- Solution extraction
- Injection of additives
- Emergency application
Plastic containers are primarily used worldwide such as:
- PE or PP bottelpack® bottles
- PVC-bags
- Non-PVC-bags
The use of PVC-bags remains very popular in many countries. But due to environmental and medical concerns they have become subject of criticism. Non-PVC-bags are supposed to replace PVC bags in the future.
Following the packaging forms bottelpack® bottles (BP-bottles), which are manufactured based on the BFS-method, are to be compared with the Non-PVC-bags, which are manufactured based on the FFS-method and are to be evaluated based on their specific characteristics along with specific production technology.
Evaluation goal: an integrated study of these packaging forms.
