10-Year Shelf Life Validation for Guardian Medical’s CapSure System

Guardian Medical announced the successful completion of 10-year accelerated aging testing for their pre-validated CapSure sterile barrier packaging system. 
 
“Four years ago, when we started Guardian Medical USA, we were determined to introduce an innovative package, incorporating a unique seal capable of setting a new standard in sterile barrier packaging. Earlier this year we completed seven-year shelf-life testing and were thrilled with the results, but our dedicated team was confident we could achieve more,” Guardian Medical USA President and CEO Tracy Momany stated. “Our clients are looking for packaging solutions that can reliably pass validations and thereafter provide lasting performance along with tangible economic and environmental benefits. Just look at a CapSure package and you understand the value of having an economy of size, where less is better. And that same package is fully recyclable.”    
 
“At a time when transportation and supply costs are increasing and there are shortages of certain packaging supplies, being able to step up and deliver a pre-validated sterile barrier package system having a 10-year shelf life is extremely important. Our industry has been built on constant improvements and advancements in technology, materials, design and procedural instrumentation with the end goal begin a better outcome for the patient and surgeon. Guardian Medical has taken the same approach and delivered a packaging system that embraces and  embodies those same tenants,” said Don Kennedy, vice president of Sales and Marketing.        
 
Guardian Medical USA Inc. designs, manufactures, and sells CapSure—a pre-validated, sterile barrier tube packaging system for medical devices in fields such as orthopedics, cranio-maxiofacial, and dental.
