Medical Packaging Materials Key Terms


A number of materials are used for medical packaging. The main concern when using these materials is the ability to keep pharmaceuticals and devices sterile. This can be accomplished through the combination of materials and packaging processes. The most common packaging materials are made from plastics, because they can be sterilized. Plastics can also provide room for air to surround a product that requires a modified atmosphere to stay functional.

Aseptic packaging

Aseptic packaging is a system that allows a sterilized product to be put into a sterilized package. This is performed under specific conditions to maintain sterility. Aseptic materials are often made from plastic.

Blister pack

A blister pack is plastic packaging that is heat formed to a specific shape. The back of the package is flat and forms a closure. Many pharmaceuticals are packaged this way, but medical devices can also be put into blister packs.

Microbial barrier

A packaging system that can prevent microorganisms from entering sterilized packaging has a microbial barrier. The microbial barrier can only be created under specific conditions and with specific packaging materials.

Modified atmosphere packaging

Modified atmosphere packaging is the process of inserting a drug or device inside a package filled with a specific type of gas.

Primary package

The primary package of a pharmaceutical or medical device is the sealed packaging that provides a microbial barrier, keeping the product sterile. Primary packaging is the only material that touches the device or drug.

Sachet

Sachet packaging is a small, flexible pouch made by bonding together two layers. The sides can be bonded on three or four sides with a fine seal.
