Pharmaceutical primary products with sterile needles - such as disposable needles, staked needle syringes (pre-filled syringes) and insulin pen adapters - are used in a variety of applications every day. In all cases, products made of plastic are clearly superior to their glass counterparts in terms of practical handling and unproblematic storage. We present the advantages of COC/COP based containers.
Advantages of Vials & Pre-filled Syringes of COC/COP
- pH neutral surface
- Lower heavy metal content than glass
- Freezer compatibility increases shelf life, especially for highly sensitive medication
- No risk of breakage and, compared to glass, easier and safer handling for self-medication
- More freedom in product design and in cannula-position and shape
Production lines for any requirement
Based on customer-specific product designs, a cycle time of 15 to 17 seconds can be achieved on the three currently available PRIMA Z production lines using the no-human-touch process. Ready-to-use syringes (Pre-Filled Syringes, PFS) according to ISO11040-6 with filling quantities of 0.5 to 5 ml, cannula sizes of 19 G to 32 G and cannula lengths of 12 to 45 mm can be manufactured for immediate filling. Our PRIMA Z lines produce up to 3,400 parts per hour.
