The Importance of Safeguarding Chilled Pharmaceuticals
Maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals is a critical concern
for healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies. Chilled medications,
such as vaccines, insulin and certain antibiotics, require precise temperature
control throughout the supply chain to ensure their efficacy and safety.
Failure to adhere to strict temperature guidelines can lead to the degradation
of active ingredients, rendering the medications ineffective or even
potentially harmful to patients.
Temperature Control in Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical products commonly require refrigeration, typically between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F). These kind of pharma products are classified vulnerable to temperature fluctuations. Exposure to temperatures outside this range can compromise the stability and potency of the active ingredients and so can jeopardizing the value of the medication. This is a critical concern for healthcare providers, as the administration of compromised pharmaceuticals can have serious consequences for patients. It is therefore a challenge for those of you shipping medication.
This is why we manufacture Insulated Envelopes.
Insulated Envelopes for Pharmaceuticals
Insulated Envelopes are a versatile and effective solution for safeguarding temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, during transportation and storage. They can be manufactured to any size, to suit your needs and products right here in house.
These specialised packaging solutions are designed to maintain the desired temperature range, shielding the contents from external temperature fluctuations and ensuring the integrity of the medications.
They are manufactured from an air bubble insulating membrane, that is sandwiched between 2 x layers of Aluminium Foil. The insulating membrane slows down the transfer of heat and excess cold, helping to keep the content temperature stable. The reflective layers also protect the product as they reflect away excess heat and excess cold. They also arrive complete with an adhesive seal, that means that you have a complete air tight seal around your product – which prevents air leaks and thus leakage of cold air / entry of warm air that could in turn have implications on the thermal integrity.
Our insulating pouches are massively popular and used by pharma companies and the NHS daily as they are both light and reliable, when used for small pharma shipments. Depending on the temperature and the duration that the products are in transit, we often supply these in conjuction with our CoolaPack Ice Pads. CoolaPack Ice Pads are placed inside the Insulated Poches and act as a cold source to keep the products chilled / frozen for longer. It adds another component and another layer of temperature control.
Insulated Envelopes have emerged as a powerful tool in the quest to safeguard temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals during transportation and storage.
