The use of flexible bags for IV applications offers significant advantages over the traditional glass bottles and blown plastic containers. One of the most important aspects is the collapsibility of a flexible bag, making air vents redundant. Other benefits include weight and volume reduction and high transparency. Today the decisive factors in IV applications are quality, reliability and cost. Solmed sets the standard in all aspects. Solmed Medipak-T S-Cler: - Tubular film for IV solutions
- New concept for bags up to 1 liter
- High flexibility and transparency
- Reduced wall thickness
- Reduced weight
- Reduced waste
- Reduced costs
Solmed Medipak and Mediflex are the standard for the packaging of sterile IV and pharmacological solutions. These PVC and polyolefin (PP) based tubular films have proven to be the most reliable and cost effective material for IV bags. Due to its closed system, the interior of the tubular film is virtually free of particulate contamination, micro-organisms and pyrogens. A major advantage of the tubular film is the number of welds, reduced to an absolute minimum, thereby increasing the reliability of the final device. Another important advantage of tubular film is the cost saving effect of reducing film waste during the production of bags.High frequency welding of the PVC based Solmed Medipak offers a reduced risk of pinholes during the production of bags. PVC Medipak is available in DEHP, TOTM or other plasticized formulations. RENOLIT MEDICAL offers a complete system for the manufacture of reliable and high quality IV bags, both in PVC and in polyolefin materials:
- Solmed Medipak (PVC) and Mediflex (PP) tubular film
- Solmed Medituub (PVC) and Tubeflex (PP)
- Solmed Medigranuul (PVC) and Granuflex (PP) injection molding compounds for port manufacturing
The storage of drugs, active ingredients or other pharmacological solutions is supported by a wide range of film and tubing compositions. The polyolefin based Solmed Mediflex can be used on the highly efficient fully automated heat seal machines that are available today. For polyolefin IV systems the unique Solmed monolayer Tubeflex types, combined with PP based Granuflex injection molded ports, offer a significant economic advantage compared with the multilayer Tubeflex used for polycarbonate ports. For IV administration sets, Solmed Medituub is the material of choice. Main features are the superior non-kinking properties, excellent transparency and suitable for steam, ETO and gamma sterilization. For critical applications, the coextruded Medituub CX 3-layer PVC/PE tubing avoids drug ab-/adsorption to the tubing wall. |
