West Vial Seal Reduces Risk of Contamination

West Pharmaceutical’s sterile drug vial seal, the Flip-Off Plus, is manufactured using a production process that provides precise, consistent, and reproducible seals.

 

West Pharmaceutical’s sterile drug vial seal, the Flip-Off Plus, is manufactured using a production process that provides precise, consistent, and reproducible seals. The seals are designed with a smooth, even bottom edge that enables high-speed filling and reliable capping. The seals are assembled in a controlled, not classified environment. The seals, which are designed to reduce particulate levels, increase sterility and support clean crimping under Grade A air supply to lower levels of bioburden. A certified bioburden prior to sterilization allows cGMP compliant sterialization validation, which in turn allows clean crimping processes.
