Learn how a leading supplier of urinary catheters corrected a recall-inducing sterility seal failure

Seal of Disapproval

One of the world’s top three manufacturers of urinary catheters had a legacy packaging process believed to produce a sturdy structure. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite sturdy enough. Packaged catheters in the field were discovered with open seals. This led to a sterility breach, followed by a costly recall, halted production lines and a temporary inability to serve customers.

The company needed a solution fast.

TekniPlex offered a coated product, which kept disruption to a minimum.

The improved package seal showed improved durability, providing the fastest path back to safe, sterile mass production.
Impact to the company’s reputation was limited.
The new process proved to be less expensive.
