The new multifunctional label is suitable for prefilled syringes and indicates the first opening. The Syringe Closure Wrap also offers the option of further protective functions and indicates tampering, counterfeiting and products that have already been opened.
Prefilled syringes require very special safety solutions to reliably protect both the active ingredient and the syringe. Syringe-Closure-Wrap has an innovative design: like a kind of second skin the label encloses the entire cap and the syringe barrel. This foil sleeve is sealed at the upper end. This ensures the integrity of the syringe until it is administered. When the label is opened, a first-opening display is triggered. Special security punchings lead to partial destruction of the label and thus prevent unnoticed resealing. An initially concealed warning can be integrated as an additional security element.
For medical staff, the Simultaneously simple, intuitive and safe to use. Whether the label has already been opened can be recognised at a glance. To further increase product and counterfeit protection authentication features can be supplemented with overt, covert or digital authentication features. can be used. For smart applications, a RFID chip can be integrated. The extended label area offers space for customised branding and text information. Syringe-Closure-Wrap also allows numerous other optional functionalities that can be adapted to the specific application and the material of the syringe - whether glass or COC - such as UV and light protection, migration barrier or other barrier functions.
Syringe Closure Wrap can applied to the syringe in conventional dispensing processes in pharmaceutical production can be used. The safety label is applied using a Ultrasonic welding process sealed without heat and is therefore also suitable for syringes with sensitive active ingredients. The solution can also be used for a wide range of syringes, whether with an inserted needle or Luer lock.
As the label wraps and seals both the syringe body and the cap thanks to its special design, it protects the integrity of the prefilled syringe at unit level. This opens up the option of replacing blister packaging or removing it for storage. This not only saves space during storage and transport, but above all conserves resources and protects the environment.
