How to improve mechanical resistance of glass Syringes and Cartridges

抄録

 High-end biotech products continue to enter the market posing new technical and regulatory challenges for the development of injection systems. Primary packaging for parenteral drugs is exploring new materials and new technologies around all the typical topics involved with these systems: mechanical resistance, surface quality, gliding performances, optional formats, etc.
 In these development syringes and cartridges are playing an increasingly important role thanks to their superior performances of an injection system, as a replacement of the legacy reconstitution procedures for vials. New manufacturing process and advanced technology have been developed and making available a new range of primary packaging. This paper describes glass manufacturing process with improved mechanical resistance and their relative cost/benefits.
