How do you assess the primacies in the development of sterile barrier systems (SBS)?
The aseptic operations at medical devices and pharmaceuticals industry comprises of unique challenges, opportunities, and most importantly the regulatory landscape. Those developing devices and drugs should engage packaging firms with dedicated design and technical expertise to design and develop medical sterile barrier systems. Organizations often undertake some form of in-house development of their SBS. This can be driven by many factors, including cost savings, and can be valuable in setting the stage. Yet, as part of regulatory due diligence, it is essential to note that there are complex SBS vulnerabilities that may be unknown to the product design team. Engaging with a medical packaging team can take early concepts to optimal solutions and success.
How do you foresee APAC healthcare SBS market?
The market in Asia Pacific (APAC) is well-positioned to serve its growing MedTech industry. An aging population, higher access to healthcare services, and growing disposable incomes fuel the APAC region’s market potential and opportunities. Today, a large portion of the market produces lower-end class I and II devices, but we also see growth in higher-end (class II and III) device manufacturing, which are typically more challenging from a packaging standpoint.
