Medical suction plastic boxes, as a sterile barrier system, are also a life barrier. The selection of packaging materials, structural design, mold selection, process forming, environmental control, quality monitoring, and packaging verification are all crucial. Engineers from Shenzhen Junhao Medical Suction Packaging Co., Ltd. will explain the high standards and strict requirements of medical suction plastic boxes in detail in two parts.
1. Raw Material Selection
The selection of raw materials is the foundation for ensuring quality. From particles to suction plastic products, the requirements are far higher than those for food-grade and industrial-grade materials. Medical-grade suction plastic boxes must meet ROHS requirements and meet the requirements of IS010993 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices" and ISO11607 "Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices" to achieve a complete sterile barrier system and microbial barrier function.
2. Structural Design
Before design and development, comprehensive factors such as raw material selection, packaged devices, sterilization methods, and clean opening by medical personnel should be fully considered. It is also necessary to ensure the ability of the sterilized medical device packaging to maintain sterility within its shelf life. Therefore, details such as the design of the edge sealing width, tear-off position, and locking mechanism are all considerations during the design phase.
3. Mold Material Selection
Medical suction plastic boxes use aluminum alloy molds. There are many types of aluminum, but in terms of overall mold processing precision and performance, 6061 is a better aluminum material. Junhao Packaging's suction plastic box molds all use 6061 aluminum, but the quality of suction plastic box molds on the market varies greatly, with significant price differences. Many use gypsum powder for the master mold, with an electroplated layer of copper on the surface. The precision and appearance of the finished product, not to mention the cleanliness, cannot meet the requirements of medical device packaging. The quality of the suction plastic box mold directly affects the details and effects of the finished suction plastic box, so careful selection is recommended.
