Gerresheimer Shows Syringe Systems at Korea Pack 2012
Düsseldorf - Gerresheimer will be displaying its comprehensive range of prefillable syringe systems at Booth K701 of the Korea Pack in Seoul, which is taking place at Kintex Exhibition Center on May 22 up to 25, 2012.
Demand for different syringe systems has increased vastly as a result of the increasingly complex and varied requirements posed by the healthcare market, especially physicians and patients, to the pharma and healthcare industry. The Gerresheimer Group offers a comprehensive and innovative portfolio of pharmaceutical primary packaging products and is one of the leading experts in the development and manufacture of sterile prefillable syringes.
Gerresheimer is a syringe technology and innovation leader with its premium RTF® (Ready to Fill) brand and a state-of-the-art range of sterile glass syringes.
o Gerresheimer supplies a fully comprehensive range of ready-to-fill syringes to the pharma industry. They are completely pre-assembled, siliconized, sterilized and supplied in a nest and tub like packaging for fully-automated filling.
o The syringes are made from borosilicate tubular glass with highest hydrolytic resistance. Gerresheimer also manufactures the tubes as an input product.
o As a result of continuous process improvement and the use of state-of-the-art glass forming technology, RTF syringes can now also be offered in PharmaPlus quality. This is a brand new and pioneering quality category which was established by the Gerresheimer specialists.
o The range of finishing technologies also includes Baked-On RTF(TM) siliconization - which is perfect for sensitive biopharmaceuticals - as an alternative to the standard liquid siliconization. The Baked-On RTF(TM) process involves a silicone oil-in-water emulsion being baked onto the inside surface of the glass syringe barrel.
o Innovative product designation avoids confusion and prevents product piracy. Laser encoding is used to indelibly apply a tiny data matrix code to the finger flange. Multicolour heat transfer printing more effectively distinguishes between product information and calibrations.
o Intelligent accessories simplify syringe handling. They include closures such as the Rigid Needle Shield with Thermoplastic Elastomer (RNS/TPE), the Tamper Evident Luerlock Closure (TELC) and the backstop with widened finger flange.
