Country: USA
Category: Medical and Pharmaceutical
Innovative single-pouch packaging offers significant cost savings in materials, labor and storage, and 50% waste reduction with its competitive 46% smaller size, while providing outstanding product protection and improved accessibility.
Medtronic has redesigned its drug-eluting stent packaging by converting the two-pouch configuration into one pocketed pouch, boosting customer accessibility. This Tyvek-foil pouch permits sterilization and provides excellent moisture/oxygen barriers to preserve drug shelf life. Additionally, a coiled dispenser (hoop) featuring removable tubing has enhanced the manufacturing process. This 46% smaller package economizes on materials, reduces waste by 50% and manufacturing space by 40%, and introduces cost savings of $4.3M annually.
