The pharma packaging and drug delivery industry has gone through many evolutions, most notably to meet the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic over the last two years. Disruptions to global supply chains posed a major issue, combined with a sharp acceleration in digital adoption. Now the sector is coming out the other side and innovating to meet future demand.  

Discover our portfolio of solutions and services for a wide variety of therapeutic areas and settings: from home to hospital through outpatient clinic, and from vaccines to chronic disease treatments through small molecules and specialties, dermal fillers and contrast media… We provide unparalleled parenteral drug delivery systems, including glass and plastic syringe systems, self-injection devices, safety and shielding systems that set the standard.

In this webinar, originally broadcast as a part of Pharmapack Europe, Eve-Marie Vaccaro, Global Sales & Operation Planner, and Edgar Bauer, Global Key Account Manager Bausch+Ströbel from BD Medical - Pharmaceutical Systems discuss how VHP sterilization is a viable alternative for ensuring improved patient safety by providing a sterile product application for drug delivery devices, such as pre-filled syringes with temperature or radiation sensitive drug products, that are too sensitive for conventional methods of sterilization. Material selections, device design, properties of the pre-filled syringe, and secondary packaging decisions (shape, materials) play an important role in ensuring the sterilization process is successful. The major things to avoid are known in the industry, but there are more opportunities for proactively preparing for this in advance, during the design phase, when making considerations for the intended sterilization method - for example - thinking about applying the IPCD (internal process challenge device and EPCD (external process challenge device) in good time beforehand. These are key considerations when aiming at short lead-time product-to-market strategy - from sterilization perspective. This presentation looks at these from this viewpoint.
