Medical Clamshell Benefits


Secure and protect medical devices with custom clamshell packaging from Dordan.

  • When placed inside of a Tyvek pouch and then sterilized, the clamshell becomes a sterile barrier unit. Formed channels into the clamshell product cavities allow for ETO penetration, sterilizing the device and internal surfaces of the clamshell.

  • Custom cavitation with press-fit features allows for a secure and intuitive orientation of the medical device in the packaging; and, finger access allows for ease of medical device removal.

  • Clamshells can accommodate multiple medical products in one container, simplifying the operational and procedural workflow.

  • Compact clamshell design reduces the space required for product storage at the hospital; clamshells can also be designed to stack.

  • Medical clamshells can be designed to have drop cavities, such that when the clamshell is opened, the products are 'dumped' into the sterile zone.
