Applications
Healthcare
Medical
- Procedure Kits
- Drapes & Protective Materials
- Tubing & Collection Systems
- Diagnostics
- Catheters, Guidewires & Stents
Overview
Features
- Improved sustainability compared to typical header bags due to film downgauging, no coating, and reduction in header layers
- Less force is required to open Fortis™ compared to traditional header bags which results in increased safety and efficiency
- Enhanced film strength delivers the strength of a 4 or 5-mil header bag in a 3-mil format
Customer benefits
- Aseptic presentation and improved header opening for end user convenience
- White seal evidence when the header is peeled open by the end user
- Uncoated header strip for improved breathability and reduction in cycle and aeration time for EtO sterilization
- Eliminates the particulate that is generated from heat seal coatings
- Fused permanent seal area that is located at the top of the bag
- No “step-down” areas under header strip found in coated header bags
- Potential to downgauge the current film by using a stronger nylon film
Lightweighting
Lightweighting
Enhancement of film strength through multi-layer blown film that provides higher strength at thinner gauges compared to competitive header bags. Using less material means there is also a reduction in waste and often carbon footprint, which is an important consideration in the context of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Therefore, adopting this approach can be a win-win for businesses looking to achieve greater efficiency and reduce their impact on the environment.
