STEMart, a US-based provider of comprehensive services for all phases of medical device development, is proud to announce the launch of its newPackage Material Testingsolutions for medical device professionals. This expanded service line provides manufacturers with a robust suite of tests to ensure the integrity and suitability of packaging materials throughout the medical device lifecycle, safeguarding product sterility, functionality, and patient safety.
Material testing is applied to determine the performance of packaging materials. Tensile, torque, tear, burst, and flexure tests are common methods used to test packaging materials. Proper design of effective packaging requires an understanding of the properties of packaging materials and how these properties may change over time or after sterilization. ISO 11607-1 outlines appropriate approach for distribution simulation, package integrity, and package strength, and also notes the need to ensure that materials used in the packaging of medical devices conform to physical properties.
Medical devices rely on robust packaging to maintain sterility and functionality until they reach the end user, so proper packaging is critical to the success of any medical device. To meet the needs of its medical device customers, STEMart now offers Package Material Testing services to empower companies to bring safe and effective medical devices to market with confidence. This expanded service line helps medical device manufacturers identify and address potential issues early in the development process, ensuring their products arrive in a pristine and functional state.
STEMarts Package Material Testing utilizes advanced technologies to assess various aspects of packaging performance. For packing materials, STEMart offers Leakage Tests to assess container integrity by filling them with water and inverting them, while Collapsibility Tests measure the ease of removing contents by squeezing. In addition, Water Vapor Permeability Tests quantify the weight loss of the heat-sealed container filled with a nominal volume of water, and Transparency Tests detect the cloudiness of the diluted suspension in each container.
STEMart also provides Material Testing Services for glass containers, closures, and plastic containers, including Hydrolytic Resistance Test, Systemic Injection Test, Sterility Test, and Penetrability Test. With expertise in consulting, packaging validation (including packaging and sterilization configurations), material qualification, and packaging development, STEMart offers a full-service experience to help manufacturers achieve regulatory goals and minimize compliance risks.
STEMart offers comprehensive suite of Package Material Testing services to empower manufacturers to optimize package design and performance, guaranteeing the integrity of their products throughout processing, distribution, and storage.
