NUTRITION

Total Parental Nutrition (TPN) is required when a patient's demand for macro- and micronutrients cannot be covered by regular or oral enteral nutrition. Let's collaborate to innovate TPN systems with advanced features in many terms.

RENOLIT Healthcare PP and EVA films are used for the storage of lipophilic solutions, an application where PVC with TEHTM, DEHT or DINCH plasticisers are also used.


RENOLIT MEDIPAK EVA tubular film is available in a transparent or frosted surface and a ribbed version. A special surface embossing on the outside of the tubular film reduces the sticking and blocking effect and facilitates its use on automated welding machines. RENOLIT EVA flat film is available in a combination of transparent and frosted surfaces.


Several multilayer RENOLIT Healthcare films offer barrier functions to oxygen and UV light and excellent cold temperature resistance. The co-extruded RENOLIT MEDIPAK UVO tubular film contains an EVA fluid contact layer, is weldable at high frequencies and is suitable for ETO and gamma sterlisation.


Special RENOLIT MEDITUUB EVA and co-extruded RENOLIT MEDITUUB PVC/EVA are available to ensure a proper connection with the bag ports.


Many parental nutrition solutions require steam-sterilisable multi-compartment bags with peelable seal, which can be manufactured from the RENOLIT INFUFLEX polyolefin films. In combination with RENOLIT TUBEFLEX tubing and RENOLIT GRANUFLEX based ports, a complete polyolefin system can be realised.


The RENOLIT Healthcare product range also offers an unique high oxygen barrier film suitable for multi-compartment bags with peelable seal. This innovative barrier film keeps its high clarity and flexibility after steam sterilisation at 121 Celsius. The high barrier properties of this film offer significant advantages in the storage of oxygen sensitive products, reducing or eliminating the need for a barrier overwrap package and oxygen scavengers.


Enteral nutrition applications require reliable and cost effective packaging materials. Various RENOLIT Healthcare materials are available for the large diversity in enteral feeding products:
> RENOLIT TRANSFUFOL extruded film
> RENOLIT SOLCARE calendered films, cost effective and available in transparant and white
> RENOLIT EVA flat film and RENOLIT MEDIPAK EVA tubular film, often used for longer shelf life storage of fatty solutions


The well known RENOLIT MEDIPAK 9002 UVO is a multi layer co-extruded tubular film with high barrier properties to oxygen, carbon dioxide and UV light. Together with two new RENOLIT tubular films, it is the basis for safe and protective packaging for the compounding administration and storage of TPN solutions with a longer shelf life. The new RENOLIT MEDIPAK 9002 UVO micro rib is designed for the manufacturing of double or multi-chamber compounding bags with an O2 and UV barrier. The bag chambers are separated by an external clamp. The new RENOLIT MEDIPAK 9020 UVO yellow is a film suitable for single chamber compounding bags with barrier O2 and extended UV range according to USP <671>.
