Transforming Packaging for Wound Management Adhesive

A manufacturer of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive faced significant challenges with its injection-molded single-dose packaging. The existing monolayer polyethylene vials required refrigerated shipping within a narrow temperature range to prevent product degradation, resulting in complicated and costly global logistics. Moreover, the vials offered a limited shelf life of just six to nine months, and moisture buildup within the package raised concerns about product integrity—an unacceptable scenario for surgical environments. Recognizing these critical issues, the manufacturer turned to TekniPlex Healthcare for a solution. Leveraging its expertise in packaging design, TekniPlex Healthcare developed a custom multilayer coextruded blow-molded vial that significantly enhanced performance. This innovative design not only eliminated the need for refrigerated transport but also extended the product’s shelf life to an impressive 34 months, representing a fourfold improvement.
