Safe in all circumstances

In emergency situations, breakage of the primary drug packaging is simply not an option. SCHOTT Pharma's break resistant cartridges are a reliable packaging solution made to withstand the most demanding conditions and provide additional safety.

Maintaining standard dimensions, the chemically strengthened cartridge walls provide significantly higher resistance to mechanical stress. Safely stored, the cartridge content is ready for application when time is crucial and every second counts.

Advantages

Superior break resistance for maximum drug safety

The higher break resistance of the cartridges results from a series of sophisticated chemical glass hardening processes. To strengthen the glass matrix, sodium ions in the glass surface are exchanged with larger potassium ions in a potassium nitrate bath with FIOLAX®. The result makes a strong point.

  • Increased break resistance and drug protection.

  • Unchanged cartridge dimensions enable “drop-in” replacement, with no re-registration required.

  • Cost savings from a reduction in breakages and defects at the point of use.

  • Cartridge dimensions are customizable to specific auto injector requirements.
