Gerresheimer will be at the Pharmtech & Ingredients international exhibition in Moscow
At the upcoming Pharmtech & Ingredients international exhibition in Moscow, Gerresheimer will be presenting innovative glass and plastic products and solutions for packaging and administering medicines safely and easily.
Gerresheimer will be at booth A225 at the Pharmtech & Ingredients international exhibition in Moscow (Crocus Expo IEC) 21-24 November, presenting innovative glass and plastic products and solutions for packaging and administering medicines safely and easily.
“There is a trend toward small-scale production and multi-purpose lines, meaning RTU (ready-to-use) packaging is becoming more common, especially when it comes to vials and syringes.” This is the point Nikolaus Netzel, Product Manager Prefillable Systems at Gerresheimer, will be giving in his talk on the development of prefillable system applications for syringes and injection vials on 23 November, from 10:30 to 11 a.m.
Gerresheimer’s RTF vials are supplied using the well-known Ompi EZfill® packaging format, allowing customers to purchase identically packaged sterile injection vials from two different manufacturers.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now stipulates that the TE ring must be firmly attached to the bottle to protect the original contents. This product change was very easy to make, owing to Gerresheimer’s experience with the type B dropper bottle, which already has a fixed TE ring. Production of dropper bottles with fixed TE rings will get under way at the company’s sites in Poland, India, and the US in the third quarter of 2017.
Gerresheimer’s Gx® Elite vials sets new standards for type I vials made from borosilicate glass. Gx Elite vials are a premium-quality, zero-defect product thanks to comprehensive optimization of the conversion process – from the tubular glass through to final packaging of the vials – which, above all else, prevents glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal contact throughout the entire process chain.
