Photoprotective Covers
For the optimum preservation of Parenteral Formulations
Light is one of the main factors that affect stability and degradation of the components of parenteral nutrition and some drugs. Whilst monolayer and multilayer transparent EVA bags offer different degrees of photoprotection, they are NOT considered as photoprotective, and, for this reason, Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend the use of photoprotective bags for optimal conservation.
The Bexen Medical range of Photoprotective covers provides different solutions for the demands and needs of your bag supply chain processes.
The Bexen Medical range of Photoprotective covers:
