Vacuum pouch as flexible packaging for medical devices

PA/PE pouch for perfect fixing of medical devices, with outstanding peel properties. PA/PE pouches have a very high mechanical strength and are ideal for vacuum packaging of heavy medical devices with sharp and rough surfaces. The material is suitable for gamma sterilisation.

Our PA/PE pouch, consisting of a transparent PA/PE composite combination, is characterised by its outstanding peel properties for an aseptic opening. The packaging also affords additional protection for your devices, as these are fixed ideally in the pouch by vacuum packaging. In cooperation with the Swiss machine manufacturer VC999 Medical, we are able to offer you a completely validated packaging process, which includes both: validation of the C6 Medical packaging machine by VC999 and validation of the PA/PE pouch. You can take over this validated process directly and thus facilitate fast production of flexible and cost-optimised packaging solutions.
