Thermoformed medical packaging

What Is Thermoformed Medical Packaging?


Thermoformed medical packaging is a highly engineered solution used to securely contain and protect medical devices throughout sterilization, shipping, storage, and point-of-use handling. These rigid plastic trays, kits, and blisters are custom-formed to fit the exact dimensions and functionality of the device, ensuring performance in both sterile and non-sterile environments.

Key Benefits of Thermoformed Medical Packaging:

  • Sterile Barrier Systems: Designed to be sealed with Tyvek®, film, or foil lidstock, these trays maintain sterility until the point of use—ideal for surgical kits, implants, and diagnostic devices.

  • Device Protection: Thermoformed trays are engineered to prevent movement, abrasion, and contamination, ensuring safe delivery from manufacturer to end user.

  • Ease of Use: Trays are custom-designed for intuitive loading and opening, supporting aseptic presentation in clinical settings.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Thermoformed packaging is validated to meet ISO 11607 and other industry standards, supporting FDA and EU MDR requirements for medical device packaging.

  • Custom Fit and Functionality: Every tray is tailored to the shape, weight, and handling needs of the device it protects, optimizing both workflow and safety.
