Abstract

Medizinische Produkte werden bisher vorzugsweise in aus Röhrenglas hergestellten zylindrischen Fläschchen lyophilisiert, auf welches ein geeigneter Elastomerverschluß aufgesetzt wird. Derartige Behälter weisen unregelmäßige Geometrien im Kopf-, Hals- und Bodenbereich sowie Totbereiche zwischen den einzelnen Behältern einer Charge in einer Gefriertrochnungsanlage auf, wodurch eine homogene Lyophilisation des darin enthaltenen Gutes nicht erreicht wird. Die neuen Behälter sollen eine homogene Lyophilisation und sicheres Aufbewahren des lyphilisierten Gutes gewährleisten.So far, medical products are preferably made of tubular glass prepared cylindrical vial lyophilized, on which a suitable Elastomer closure is placed. Such containers have irregular Geometries in the head, neck and bottom area as well as dead areas between the individual containers of a batch in a freeze drying system, whereby a homogeneous lyophilization of the goods contained therein does not is achieved. The new containers are said to have a homogeneous lyophilization and Ensure safe storage of the lyphilized goods.

Die Behälter werden aus transluzentem oder transparentem Kunststoffmaterial mit sehr regelmäßiger Wandstärke und Geometrie gefertigt. Um eine homogene Lyophilisation zu gewährleisten, weisen die Behälter ebene, zum planen Kontakt mit den Seitenflächen eines jeweils benachbarten Behälterkörpers befähigte Seitenflächen auf.The containers are made of translucent or transparent Plastic material made with very regular wall thickness and geometry. In order to ensure homogeneous lyophilization, the containers have level, for flat contact with the side surfaces of a neighboring one Side surfaces of the container body.

Die Behälter eigenen sich zur homogenen Lyophilisation und sicheren Aufbewahrung medizinischer Produkte.
