Moisture And Oxygen Risk In The Medical Device Industry

The majority of medical device packaging is porous in nature. Some medical devices require a different layer of defense protecting against oxygen or moisture ingress. For some devices the ingress of moisture or oxygen over the shelf-life of the product can impact the device performance. Any time a foil barrier comes into play with a high-risk application, detection of microleaks is absolutely critical to assuring the shelf-life of the products.

Learn how oxygen and moisture can be more aggressive environmental contaminates than bacteria, what steps to take to guarantee product performance and patient safety, and more.
