Gerresheimer to showcase Gx MultiShell vials at the PDA

GLASS and plastic expert Gerresheimer will present its Gx MultiShell vials and CleaJect syringes at the PDA, which will be held in Baltimore on May 18 and 19. 

 

The Gx MultiShell vials and ClearJect syringes are made of COP and feature special high-performance polymer structures, making them ideal for parenteral medications, biopharmaceuticals, and oncological drugs. The Gx MultiShell Vials has a sandwich or multilayer structure composed of cyclic olefin polymer plus a polyamide layer as an oxygen barrier that protects sensitive pharmaceuticals against oxidation and water vapor. The polyamide oxygen barrier also increases the pharmaceuticals’ shelf life. 

 

Franck Langet, business development manager for North America, noted the outstanding features of the two innovative products. 

 

“Excellent barrier properties and glass-clear transparency don’t necessarily rule each other out. The benefits for the pharmaceutical industry are higher efficiency and a more precise dosage during administration,” Mr. Langet said.

 

Gerresheimer supplies the pharmaceutical industry with vials and syringes in plastic and glass for a wide range of applications. The company’s booth #11 product displays at the PDA will also include COP monolayer containers and a new generation of dispensing systems such as pill counters, sound and visual effects, grinder devices, a system for micro-tablets, timers, and calendar caps.
