June - 20186Technology advances in sterilization and packaging are on the rise in recent years, evolving to address deficiencies. However, these newer and sophisticated medical devices leveraging the latest technologies do require a different testing and sterilization approach. 2018 will see medical device manufacturers and their partners creating methods in an attempt to deliver results to satisfy the regulatory bodies.One approach for OEMs to make packaging and sterilization processes go as smoothly as possible is to work with their contract manufacturers to identify the best strategy early in product development. This includes the packaging design phase alongside analysis of new formulations in materials that may be easier to sterilize equivalently.
