TUTTLINGEN, GERMANY (PRWEB) JULY 23, 2019
Diener Implants GmbH, a contract manufacturer for medical devices, today announced their strategic partnership with 3dpac by steripac, a German specialist for medical device packaging, to offer implants sterile packed to their customers.
The 3dpac is a proprietary blister system developed by steripac that ensures the optimal position fixation of sensitive products like 3D printed implants within the sterile barrier: Implants are embedded in a thermally individually shaped fixing inlay in the primary blister in a stable position. The fixation inlay is formed thermally during the packaging process using the implant geometry as a shaped body. Therefore, the inlay always covers the product like a second skin and offers uncompromising safety. This provides flexibility and solves the typical problems standard blister and pouch packaging has with products of different geometries and sizes like e.g. spinal fusion cages. Tooling cost is significantly reduced.
By offering 3dpac as standard packaging, Diener Implants is reducing the usual lead time for designing and validating sterile packaging. Diener Implants and their partners also understand the relevant regulatory environment and respective requirements a sterile product has to comply with. Therefore, established and validated processes ensure several years of shelf life right from the first series production, saving the customer time-to market and help reduce cost. Having a standard set of process validations, also provides an opportunity for transferring production or establishing a second manufacturing and sterilization source within a short timeframe.
