The Issues of Medical Package Materials and the Feature of Medical Compounding ZELAS^TM

Abstract

The medical package has renewed to save medicine performances. But existing medical materials have issues, for example, normal PVC includes di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and DEHP leaches into the medicine^1,2), and PVC adsorbs some chemicals^3,4). Our Zelas^TM MP series showed low chemical adsorption, which has the potential to replace PVC. Not only PVC replacement, Zelas^TM TPS has potential to replace Butyl rubber for closure. Moreover, Mitsubishi Chemical corp. launched Zelas^TM CP, which showed low protein adsorption and has potential to replace glass for vials.
