Acknowledged by the FDA as an advanced aseptic process for the packaging of sterile pharmaceutical liquids, blow-fill-seal (BFS) technology is gaining increasing acceptance by providing a high level of product sterility, eliminating the need for human intervention, improving flexibility in container design and increasing process uptime.
Since its introduction into the North American pharmaceutical market more than 40 years ago, BFS aseptic processing has established itself as a highly efficient and safe system for the filling and packaging of sterile pharmaceutical liquids and other healthcare products, such as creams and ointments. BFS product usage has been widely established in the ophthalmic and respiratory therapy markets for some time, and lately the technology has been gaining increasing worldwide acceptance in the parenteral drug marketplace, replacing traditional glass vial processing in a growing number of applications. |
