Parenteral Packaging Focuses on SafetyPrefilled and needleless systems make injections safer.
A needleless system for the reconstitution of parenteral drugs into prefilled diluent syringes features a universal luer-lock connection that allows for fast and safe reconstitution. The Bio-Set Injection system is available in 20- or 13-mm neck drug vials. The vials can be easily processed on existing filling equipment. After the vial is filled with powder or lyophilized and stoppered with a rubber closure, the injection device can be capped to the drug vial, which replaces the traditional aluminum crimp seal.
