In the critical fields of sterile injectable manufacturing and ophthalmic drug manufacturing, maintaining an absolute sterile environment isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it is a matter of patient safety. While the formulations inside the vials or ampoules are rigorously sterilized, the exterior packaging can often pose a hidden contamination risk when introduced into operating rooms or cleanroom environments.
To combat this, the industry is turning to advanced sterilization techniques. At Kilitch Healthcare, a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in India, we are pioneering the use of VH2O2 (Vapour Hydrogen Peroxide) Blister Technology to eliminate these risks and set a new benchmark for packaging safety.
The Hidden Risk in Traditional Packaging
Traditionally, terminally sterilized products are placed into standard blister packs. While the medication itself is safe, the exterior of the immediate product container (like the outside of a syringe or vial) can inadvertently harbor microscopic contaminants from the packaging process.
When a surgeon or healthcare professional opens this standard blister pack in a sterile surgical field, that exterior contamination can be transferred, posing a severe risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). For a global pharmaceutical manufacturing company, mitigating this risk is a top priority.
What is Hydropure technology?
Hydropure technology is a breakthrough innovation in aseptic pharmaceutical manufacturing. It utilizes Vapour Hydrogen Peroxide—a highly effective, low-temperature sterilizing agent—to completely sterilize the interior of the blister pack and the exterior of the immediate product contact surface just before the blister is sealed.
Kilitch Healthcare is proud to be the 1st in India to adopt VH2O2 sterilized blister packs. This ensures that when the secondary packaging is peeled open in a clinical setting, both the drug and the exterior of its primary container are 100% sterile and intact.
Key Benefits of VH2O2 Sterilization in Pharma
By integrating this advanced technology, we provide an unparalleled level of safety for healthcare providers and patients alike:
- Elimination of Transfer Risk: It is the only proven and safe technology that entirely eliminates the product risk associated with traditional blisters.
- Material Integrity: Because VH2O2 is a low-temperature process, it does not degrade sensitive plastics, adhesives, or the delicate formulations inside, making it ideal for specialized ophthalmic formulations and sensitive injectables.
- Eco-Friendly Byproducts: Unlike toxic sterilization gases like Ethylene Oxide (EtO), VH2O2 breaks down safely into naturally occurring water vapor and oxygen, aligning with sustainable manufacturing practices.
Elevating Global Contract Manufacturing Standards
As a premier WHO-GMP pharmaceutical manufacturer, maintaining international manufacturing standards is at our core. The implementation of deeply validated, newly developed technologies like VH2O2 sterilization places Kilitch Healthcare among the elite ranks of manufacturers globally, rivaling the few companies in Europe that currently utilize this process.
