Durable Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Packaging for Demanding Applications
Made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Tyvek® offers exceptional protection against damage for sharp or heavy products, outperforming more fragile alternative materials, such as medical-grade paper. Its strength helps Tyvek® 1073B protect and maintain the sterility of high-risk medical products, from artificial hips to heart valves.
High-Strength Protection for High-Risk Products
Tyvek® 1073B provides the highest level of protection, making it the ideal choice for medical device and pharmaceutical packaging that requires high strength and superior microbial barrier. DuPont Tyvek® 1073B has the highest strength of all Tyvek® styles for medical device and pharmaceutical packaging.
In addition, Tyvek® 1073B is compatible with a broad range of manufacturing and sterilization processes and is a superior microbial barrier, to help preserve sterility during both shipping and storage.
Outstanding Resistance to Microbial Penetration
Even under the most rigorous conditions in highly contaminated environments, Tyvek® 1073B is highly resistant to penetration by bacterial spores and other contaminating microorganisms. Microbial barrier test data consistently prove that all styles of Tyvek® for sterile medical packaging-Tyvek® 1073B, Tyvek® 1059B and Tyvek® 2FS™-hold out bacterial spores and test particles better than other commercially available porous medical packaging materials, including medical-grade papers. In addition, a long-term shelf life study proved conclusively that Tyvek® 1073B can maintain sterility for at least five years if package integrity is not compromised.
Key Benefits
Tyvek® 1073B provides a range of advantages for medical device manufacturers. These include:
Outstanding microbial barrier
High strength to weight ratio
Moisture resistance
Inertness to most chemicals
Air and water vapor permeability
Clean peel performance
Low linting due to continuous filaments
Puncture resistance for optimal protection during distribution and handling
Compatibility with many sterilization processes.
Production under ISO 14001, offering recyclability and support of sustainability programs.
Sterilization Compatibility
Unlike other materials, Tyvek® 1073B and all Tyvek® styles for medical device packaging are compatible with the most common methods of sterilization, giving medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers greater flexibility. These include:
Ethylene Oxide (EO)
Radiation (Gamma and electron beam)
Steam (under controlled conditions)
Low temperature oxidative
