Moulded Glass Packaging Solutions

Gx® RTF vials are washed, packed in trays or in a nest and tub, sterilized and delivered to pharmaceuticals customers. They can then immediately begin filling without further procees steps. Gx RTF® Vials: flexibility through different packaging configurationshighest quality requirementshighest standards with regard to glass breakage, cosmetic defects, paricle contaminationDelivered sterilePackaging based on Ompi EZ-fill packaging formats: identically packaged sterile vials from to different manufacturers

Gerresheimer is regarded as a technology leader and ranks among the leadingcompanies in the world market. We offer a comprehensive range of cartridgesfor various pharmaceutical applications. Individual treatments complete the range.These include, for example, ammonium sulfate treatment to improve theglass quality in selected sites.

Gerresheimer is regarded as a technology leader andranks among the leading companies in the world market.We offer a comprehensive range of vials from 0.6 to 50 ml in different designs, with or without blowback (European and American version) according to industry standards or to your individual specifications. State-of-the-art production process and in-line camera inspection systems ensure high-performance in filling lines and lyophilization processes.

One problem associated with syringe use is that traces of tungsten or other metals occasionally leave residue behind in the bore when the syringe cone is shaped. Gerresheimer developed a production technology registered for patent where the pin used to shape the cone is made of a special ceramic. So we can offer a metal-free 1 ml Gx RTF® Luer lock glass syringe. The process can be transferred to other Luer lock syringe sizes or to Luer cone syringes of various sizes at any time.

The syringes are made from COP (Cyclo Olefin Polymer). The needle syringes are glue-free as the cannula is not glued in, but is instead insert-molded during the injection molding process. No aggregation due to metal or tungsten residues, high viscosity silicone oil for reduced particles, minimal extractables and leachables, high pH tolerance, no shift in pH value, optimized permeation rate, high break resistance, tighter tolerances than glass, precise medication dosing thanks to minimal residue volume, wide variety of design options and high flexibility for customer-specific requirements, outstanding syringe functionality with regard to break loose, gliding forces and pull-off forces of the needle shield, compatible with auto injectors.

Prefillable glass syringes in bulk and "ready-to-fill" format, filling volumes of 0.5 to 5.0 ml, luer cone and luer lock systems, needle syringes, silicone-oil reduced and metal-free syringes for sensitive active ingredients, innovative syringe components.

With Gx InnoSafe, Gerresheimer offers a syringe with an integrated safety systems that prevents unintentional needle stick injuriesexcludes the possibility of accidental reuse andtakes the needs of pharmaceutical companies and end users equally into account.

How can device and packaging innovation influence patient ability and motivation to use their treatment?" With examples from research of how patients learn and become motivated, and how industry can use these processes to influence patient outcomes. Patients learn through a mixture of stimuli and learning processes, these stimuli can be adopted into device design and packaging to enhance the patient's feelings about their medication. Presently many patients using complex devices, like inhalers, make critical errors which entails repeated re-training. This presentation looks at innovative ways of embedding learning, that could be adopted by future device and packaging design.

What are blister packs, and why are they so important? How have they changed over the years, and where are they heading? This presentation will consider a history of how blister packs have benefitted the supply of medicines to patients worldwide, and how they are continuing to evolve within an increasingly sustainable landscape.

Wearables can take different shapes and sizes and are revolutionizing the way we monitor, treat, and manage health conditions. In this short deep dive, we will look at innovative wearable technologies and how they enable data collection and analysis, patient centric care, personalized medicine and more.

Overcoming challenges when developing subcutaneous drug delivery devices that empower patient self-administration. The trend in parenteral patient therapy has been moving towards the home-care setting for some time as it empowers patient independence. However, home administration brings additional requirements when developing a delivery device, and these are constantly evolving. Patient safety is always paramount, but usability is another critical factor, as well as sustainability and connectivity to support patient adherence. The challenge is to design a device to meet as many requirements as possible that can be ready on the market within 4-8 years. In this presentation we will discuss Gerresheimer’s mission of “innovating for a better life” and how we apply this when developing solutions that respond to the needs of patients, our pharmaceutical industry customers, and the environment, today and into the future.

The talk explores the current integration of digital health in drug delivery and various opportunities that it presents. Delving into the landscape of drug delivery, we examine the rise of connected devices, emphasizing the delicate balance between technology and compassionate care. This session also addresses real-world challenges like adoption, satisfaction, regulatory, and security considerations. Be part of the conversation on overcoming these challenges.

From sight, touch, taste, and smell to hearing, the five senses allow the body to take everything in. Research shows that the more senses are used, the better the memory is gathered, and the process enhanced. How does this theory apply to device development, design conception, and patient experience?
