ENSURING DOCTORS AND PATIENTS HAVE STERILIZED EQUIPMENT IN CLINICAL SETTINGS

Customer:
A leading American healthcare company

Accu-Glass is the only supplier of USP Type I ampoules for steam sterilization indication.

Problem

A leading American healthcare company needed a high-volume supplier of pharmaceutical-grade crushable glass ampoules for their steam sterilization product lines. The healthcare company redesigned their filling operation for high-throughput production, requiring ampoules with specific mechanical properties, end shapes, and treatments to ensure product integrity throughout the process.

Solution

Accu-Glass develops and maintains crushable glass ampoules in St. Louis, Missouri, dramatically shortening the supply chain from any alternative. Accu-Glass added process steps for the healthcare company to increase rigidity and rate-of-spin during the filling step. These changes retained the ampoules crush characteristics for the end user.

Outcome

Accu-Glass is the sole supplier of these specialized USP Type III glass ampoules for steam sterilizers.
