The use of pouches for medical devices and implantable packaging is growing. Much of this growth can be attributed to pouch strength, puncture resistance, and barrier protection. Pouches will be the container of choice for medical devices and supplies.
Pouches are usually fabricated from two or more differing materials with a plastic, Tyvek®, foil, paper, PE, PP or laminates of these materials, sealed to form a peel-open or tear-open package. New package material choices are continually being developed for this market including polyester/polyester combinations, foil, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).
