Medical Device Package Permeation Testing

With more than two million medical devices and products on the market today, ensuring these life-saving innovations are safely packaged is no small feat. The packaging process is critical to preserving product shelf life and efficacy, from pacemakers and contact lenses to gauze and home health monitors.

The global medical device packaging industry is valued at $30 billion, a figure that’s projected to almost double in the next decade. But what makes this packaging so special? Modern medical packaging protects devices from damage, enables sterilization, ensures barrier performance for shelf life and efficacy, and provides secure seals to block harmful contamination.

That’s where AMETEK MOCON comes in. As the pioneers of automated permeation testing, we provide the most reliable and robust instruments on the market to ensure that packaging keeps out two major threats to product integrity – moisture and oxygen. Our ultra-sensitive testing detects even the smallest traces of gas, protecting your devices from degradation.

Beyond permeation, packaging integrity is critical. We offer a range of tests, from seal verification using burst testing to pressure decay and bubble emission tests – each designed to catch any potential leaks.
For those medical devices packaged with modified atmospheres (such as low oxygen concentration), we have online and offline methods of monitoring and verifying the filling process.

Whether you require on-site equipment or prefer to rely on us for your testing services, AMETEK MOCON is your trusted partner in ensuring your packaging meets the highest standards – keeping your devices safe and effective.
