The packaging, which pairs a polyolefin blister film with barrier polypropylene lidding film, will be introduced at Pack Expo in Chicago.

Demand for sterilization is one of two key drivers of medical device outsourcing services. MEDicept’s Kim Trautman reflects on how that and other factors are changing the landscape for device manufacturers and their contract packagers.

Tamper-resistant IV bags needed, Eakin Surgical's contract packaging scaleup, Ethicon's sustainable sterile-barrier packaging, surgical simulations that aid packaging design, and more.

Plans are underway for next year’s high-impact and high-energy healthcare packaging conference.

Ethicon is the first medical device manufacturer to use Eastar Renew, a material produced via Eastman’s molecular recycling technology.

The first-of-its-kind material is highly effective at neutralizing viruses such as COVID-19, is cheap to produce, and can be easily scaled.
