Exploring the Advantages and Applications of Easy Peel film from TPE Compounds in Medical Device Packaging


Everlon is a leading company in the development of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds for various applications, including film blowing and casting of multilayer films. TPE materials are compliant with USP Class VI certification, making them ideal for use in the medical device industry. Specifically, Everlon's TPE compounds are designed for the packaging of single-use medical instruments, such as syringes, needles, tubing, wound care products, drapes, gloves, and medical kits.


The use of TPE compounds in medical device packaging offers numerous benefits, such as excellent flexibility, durability, and puncture resistance, while providing a secure seal to prevent contamination and maintain the sterility of the medical device. TPE materials are recyclable, offering advantages in terms of sustainability and contributing to a more environmentally friendly approach to medical device packaging.


In addition to their functional and sustainable benefits, TPE compounds have been specially formulated to produce easy peel films, which provide convenience and ease of use for medical professionals and patients. These easy peel films allow for quick and effortless opening of medical device packaging, reducing the risk of accidental contamination or damage to the device.


The use of easy peel TPE films in medical device packaging offers numerous advantages, including increased efficiency and reduced waste, as well as improved patient safety and user experience. Easy peel TPE films can also be customized to meet specific packaging needs.


In summary, the combination of TPE compounds and easy peel films represents an innovative solution for medical device packaging, offering improved functionality, sterility, sustainability, and ease of use for the healthcare industry.


Easy Peel Multilayer Films: Designing a Barrier for Infection Prevention in Medical Device Packaging


Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to patient safety, making the prevention of their spread a top priority in healthcare settings. Sterilization packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the final product is sterile and safe for use.
