Syringe siliconization
|
|
Ready-to-fill, i.e. sterile, prefillable glass syringes, are washed,
siliconized, sterilized and packaged by the primary packaging
manufacturer. They can then be filled by the pharmaceutical companies
without any further processing. These days the majority of prefillable
syringes are made of glass and the trend looks set to continue. The
siliconization of the syringe barrel is an extremely important aspect of
the production of sterile, prefillable glass syringes because the
functional interaction of the glass barrel siliconization and the
plunger stopper siliconization is crucial to the efficiency of the
entire system. Both inadequate and excessive siliconization can cause
problems in this connection. The use of modern technology can achieve an
extremely uniform distribution of silicone oil in glass syringes with
reduced quantities of silicone oil. Another option for minimizing the
amount of free silicone oil in a syringe is the thermal fixation of the
silicone oil on the glass surface in a process called baked-on
siliconization. Plastic-based silicone oil-free or low-silicone oil
prefillable syringe systems are a relatively new development. Silicone
oil-free lubricant coatings for syringes are also currently in the
development phase.
