  • Patent number: 12084249
    Abstract: Packaging for the sterile storage and transport of objects for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications and a packaging process are provided. The packaging includes at least one bag made of a first and a second web, bonded to one another, a feature thereof being that the first web consists of a selectively permeable nonwoven fabric and that the second web consists of a laminated film with at least three layers, where the first layer is a polymer film arranged on the external side of the bag, the second layer is a lamination adhesive and the third layer is a polymer film arranged on the internal side of the bag. At least one of the layers of the second web includes one or more pigments. In an 8-bit greyscale image, the seal seam, imaged in transmitted light and contrast-standardized, is depicted within a greyscale value range of 50-200.

  • Patent number: 12054329
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a holding device for primary packaging containers including: a first component including first receptacles and spanning a first component plane; and a second component including second receptacles and spanning a second component plane. The first component and the second component superimpose one another such that each primary packaging container can be detachably accommodated in one of the first receptacles and the second receptacles such that the first component and the second component together restrict movement of the primary packaging container in one of the component planes and in a direction which is perpendicular to one of the component planes. For each of the first receptacles, there is one of the second receptacles which has a minimum distance from the first receptacle and, for each of the first receptacles, the minimum distance is predetermined by the second component, a third component of the holding device, or both.

  • Publication number: 20240227345
    Abstract: Disclosed are films and a packaging for gas or vapor decontaminable packaging applications and a method for creating a sterile packaging using the same. These films are particularly useful for sterile storage and transport of objects for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses, in particular of sterile pharmaceutical primary packaging means, like vials, ampules, syringes, or cartridges. Said film comprises at least a layer of a selectively permeable non-woven, a layer of a punctured film, and an adhesive which can be activated by energy transmission. Optionally it comprises further film layers. The method for creating a sterile packaging comprises the step of hermetically closing the packaging by activating the adhesive thereby making the non-woven impermeable.

  • Patent number: 11897681
    Abstract: A separating layer for the transport of pharmaceutical secondary packagings and to a transport system for transporting pharmaceutical secondary packagings which comprises the separating layer are provided. The separating layer is a polymer layer having a planar section extending in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis and an elevation extending normal to the longitudinal axis. The separating layer has in the axial direction a normal spring force that is 0.2 to 5 N.

  • Publication number: 20240033181
    Abstract: A multi-layer sealing film has (a) a layer of a selectively permeable non-woven that is essentially impermeable to microorganisms and (b1) a first layer of film having one or more predefined cut-out regions within an area of the multi-layer sealing film that is to cover an opening of container, or (b2) a first layer of film that is essentially impermeable to a gas or vapor having a first needling, perforation and/or cut pattern within the area of the multi-layer sealing film that is to cover the opening. The layer of a selectively permeable non-woven (a) and the first layer of film (b1) or (b2) are bonded by a sealing seam configured and arranged at least partially subject to and non-overlapping with a sealing seam area for sealing the opening.

  • Patent number: 11737952
    Abstract: A holding device is provided that has a base body having a plurality of openings in a first surface and a plurality of holding elements each having a movable surface. The plurality of holding elements are arranged with respect to the plurality of openings, respectively, such that a container extending in a respective opening of the plurality of openings is held by a respective one of the plurality of holding elements in a positive fit. The movable surface faces the container in a direction that is perpendicular to a height of the container. The holding element establishes the positive fit by a displacement movement of the movable surface. The displacement movement has a direction of movement that inclines an angle with the height of the container in a range from 60 to 120°.

  • Publication number: 20220387257
    Abstract: At least one closed container includes a glass container having a total height, being characterized by a center axis and including a shoulder region; and a press-fit cap closing the glass container and including a cylindrical body having an upper end and a lower end. P is any given point at the lower end of the press-fit cap that is located above the shoulder region and that lies on a straight line running parallel to the center axis and hitting an outer surface of the shoulder region at a point Q. Among these points P at the lower end of the press-fit cap point P? is the one that has a smallest distance to its corresponding point Q? and a distance between points P? and Q? on the straight line is in a range from 0.17 to 8.4 mm.
