Small Volume Parenterals And The Use Of Blow-Fill-Seal Packaging Machines

Source: rommelag USA, Inc.

The use of plastic material for the production of small volume parenterals has also increased significantly. The convenience in use, the elimination of potential hazards in handling, the safe and environmentally friendly disposal, shatterproof transportation and low manufacturing cost, are key factors for the use of this packaging material when compared to glass ampoule production.

rommelag®'s reputation in the development of packaging technology and design has made it the leader in the field of small volume parenteral production as well

The combination luer ampoule for all types of small volume parenterals is an example of such a design development. When luer fit or luer lock syringes are used, the container allows for a connection and the direct withdrawal of the product. There is no need for an additional needle. Other opening designs have been developed in cooperation with customers. The twist-off design eliminates the need for closure parts. Lot numbers and expiry codes are engraved during ampoule molding. Typical fill products are WFI, standard injectable solutions and local anaesthetic solutions.
