  • Patent number: 8056716
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tamper-evident push-through packaging secured against fraudulent reuse comprising: —a polymer base web (1) comprising at least one pocket; —a multilayer lidding film (2) covering said pocket, said multilayer lidding film (2) comprising on its seal side a coextruded polymer film, said coextruded polymer film comprising a push-through polymer layer (3) sealed on the base web by a permanent seal and a peelable protective polymer layer (4), the polymers of both layers (3,4) being incompatible and in direct contact with each other, without interlayer, the adhesion between said push-through polymer layer (3) and said peelable protective polymer layer (4) being lower than the seal strength between said polymer base web (1) and said push-through polymer layer (3), wherein, in use, the push-trough layer leaves a seal seam (6), after removing the part of the push-trough layer (3) covering the pocket and wherein said protective layer (4) cannot be resealed by a heat sealing process on

  • Patent number: 6080456
    Abstract: Packaging for a medical article to be gas-sterilized includes a plastic film which includes at least one layer and which is structured as a dome to house the medical article in use; and a plastic-treated paper web which is comprised of a paper web, which forms a pack base, and which is sealed to the plastic film in a peelable manner in use, wherein the paper web has a basis weight ranging between 55 and 250 g/m.sup.2 and has been treated with a plastic so that the plastic-treated paper web has an average gas-permeability of at least 0.50 .mu.m/Pa.s, and wherein the plastic is present in a weight ranging from 3 to 20 g/m.sup.2 so that the packaging after sealing in use may be opened without contaminating the medical article contained therein with fibers from the paper web.
