Customized packaging solutions for medical devices

Sanner GmbH,  a  manufacturer  of  primary  plastic  packaging  and medical devices, has launched the IDP-Process™, a holistic six-phase development  process where  customers  receive  their  individual  packaging solution. The design of the IDP Process  is also suited for  serial  production  and  complies  with  all  technical  and  regulatory requirements. 

 

Inhalers with special spray geometry, especially user-friendly teststrip dispensers, child-resistant  closures  or  breakage-proof  dual-chamber  syringes  –  drug packaging requirements are increasing continuously. “A fast and reliable market  introduction of new products also requires a matching packaging concept,” says Sanner Managing Director Dirk Mähr. “This is why our IDP-Process™ supports our customers with long-term expertise in the development of all kinds of primary packaging  and  medical  devices.  IDP  stands  for  ‘Idea.  Design.  Product.‘  –  we manage customer projects from the first idea right through to serial production, and develop their smart, efficient and safe individual packaging solution.”  

 

 

At Pharmapack 2017 in Paris, Sanner focuses on six phases, one goal. In  the  concept  phase,  the  Sanner  specialists  develop  different  approaches based  on  customer  demands  and  regulatory  requirements.  The  criteria  for subsequent serial production are already taken into account in this early phase. Once  the  customer  has  chosen  his  favorite  solutions,  the  concepts  are  further specified in the design phase. In the prototype phase, the required equipment and product samples are qualified and tested. The industrialization phase is all about  the  final  manufacture,  installation  and  qualification  of  production equipment,  as  well  as  defining  the  parameters  for  a  smooth  and  efficient production process. This process is validated in the implementation phase. In  parallel,  all  documents  required  for  the approval  and  registration  of  both  drugs and packaging are issued.  Now the  roll-out phase  can start, while continuous control of serial production ensures consistent product quality.
