  • Patent number: 7160590
    Abstract: A multilayer web article, including a first layer of a porous material, e.g., Tyvek® film, and a second layer overlying and sealed to the first layer. The second layer is non-porous to passage of gas therethrough and includes a peelable film, e.g., of polyethylene, in contact with the first layer of porous material. The peelable film permits peeling removal of the second layer from the first layer to expose the first layer of porous material for passage of gas therethrough. In a specific construction, the web article constitutes one of opposedly facing panels of a lay-flat bag article, in which the facing panels are bonded to one another along superposed edges thereof. After pressurization integrity testing of the bag, the peelable film is peeled away to enable steam - and/or ETO-sterilization of the bag and its contents to be carried out.

  • Patent number: 7121409
    Abstract: A sachet [(10, 22, 110, 210, 510)] for the packaging and dispensing of an item or a flowable substance [(125)], such as a liquid, powder or paste, has a semi-rigid member [(112)] with a weakened region [(120)] formed thereon so that upon bending across the weakened region [(120)] the semi-rigid member [(112)] will fracture along the weakened region [(120)]. The sachet [(110)] also has a reservoir [(114)] formed by overlaid first and second flexible film layers [(116,118)] which are adapted to contain the flowable substance [(125)]. In one form, an annular region [(128)] of the second flexible film layer [(118)] immediately surrounding the aperture region [(126)] is sealed to the adjacent region of the semi-rigid member [(112)] so as to prevent leakage of the flowable substance [(125)] from within the reservoir [(114)]. In use, fracturing along the weakened region [(120)] will expose the aperture [(126)] so as to allow the flowable substance [(125)] to be dispensed.

  • Patent number: 6991095
    Abstract: Packaged patch (10) according to the invention comprises patch (2) situated in space (4) inside patch package (3) composed of laminated packaging material (1), and its edges are sealed. Laminated packaging material (1) comprises hygroscopic material layer (13) made of LDPE containing 20–40 wt % of an inorganic filler, situated between moisture-permeable material layer (14) made of LDPE and having a moisture permeability of 40–120 g/m2/day and a screen material layer which blocks penetration of moisture, etc. and is composed of HDPE layer (12) and aluminum foil (11). The saturation hygroscopicity of laminated packaging material (1) is 2–30 g/m2 under atmosphere conditions with a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 75%. This construction sufficiently reduces the effect of moisture on a drug in patch (2) and allows patch (2) to be held in a stable state for prolonged periods, while also improving the economy and handleability of patch package (3).

  • Patent number: 6667067
    Abstract: A package which allows for butchering and packaging of fresh red meat at a centralized facility is provided which includes a an impermeable tray supporting the product, a first film sealed to the tray for enclosing the product, means defined within the first film for exchanging gases into and out of the package, and a second impermeable film enclosing the first film, such that removal of said impermeable film provides for the exchange of gases into and out of the package. The means for exchanging gases may be perforations defined within the first film, a second highly permeable film sealed to the first film, or an enlarged opening formed within the first film which is enclosed with a patch following adequate gas exchange at retail. Such gas exchange is required to release any low oxygen atmosphere and allow for the introduction of oxygen to the packaged meat product, said means for exchanging gases having a gas transmission rate of at least about 50,000 cc/m2/24 hrs./atm. at 73° F.
