Overview
Newform medical grade LDPE bags are a range of medical-grade, low-density-polyethylene (LDPE) bags for use in biopharmaceutical applications.
In the biopharmaceutical and medical industries, visible and subvisible contaminants from packaging materials not only reduce process efficiency by generating unacceptable waste percentages, but they can also constitute real chemical and biological hazards when delivering parenteral drugs to patients. Low particle levels should be guaranteed by the product supplier, and product integrity must be 100% guaranteed by the packaging itself.
Newform Bags are medical-grade, low-density-polyethylene (LDPE) bags, ideal for packaging and gamma irradiation of powders, products and components.
