Assessing the pressure resistance of medical device seals and closures

Assessing the Pressure Resistance of Medical Device Seals and Closures A Crucial Laboratory Service for Businesses

In the highly regulated medical device industry, ensuring the safety and efficacy of products is paramount. One critical aspect of product development and testing is assessing the pressure resistance of medical device seals and closures. This laboratory service, offered by Eurolab, helps businesses validate their products performance under various conditions, reducing the risk of product failure and minimizing regulatory hurdles.

What is Assessing the Pressure Resistance of Medical Device Seals and Closures?

Assessing the pressure resistance of medical device seals and closures involves subjecting samples to controlled pressures to evaluate their ability to maintain a tight seal and withstand external forces. This process simulates real-world conditions, such as those encountered during transportation, storage, or use in healthcare settings.

In medical devices, seals and closures play a vital role in ensuring the sterility and integrity of the product. Failure to meet pressure resistance requirements can compromise device performance, lead to patient harm, or even result in costly product recalls.
