Safe and stable storage from production to administration

Glass ampoules are one of the most widely used forms of pharmaceutical packaging, with health care professionals around the world using over three million every hour. Whether in a surgery, an emergency room, or an ambulance, clinicians need rapid and simple access to life-saving drugs stored in safe and stable containers.

StandardLine Ampoules are made using FIOLAX® Type I Borosilicate Glass, which offers high chemical resistance and fulfill all specifications regarding hydrolytic resistance to offer stable storage for pharmaceutical companies and to keep drug-container interaction to a minimum.

Tight tolerances ensure an efficient fill-and-finish process, while stringent camera-controlled inspections reduce the amount of rejects. All four available break systems for ampoules help to support easy-to-open usage.

The power of the correct opening technique

Ampoules have been used for over 100 years for the secure storage of drugs thanks to its effortless usability, partly due to the chosen break-system. The ampoule break-system not only allows easy access to a drug, but also helps to protect healthcare professionals from injuries and patients from the risk of glass particles getting into a patient's circulatory system decreases, lowering health threats. OPC and easyOPC break-systems provide lower break-force range, and lower particle generation during the ampoule opening if the right opening technique is used. Even the smallest reduction in particle generation benefits patient's safety.
