Methods We selected 29 university hospitals to survey by using telephone and by mail. Results 1. The kind of packages that 29 hospitals uses were 2 layers, 3 layers and 3 layers with aluminum as the component layer, standing or non-standing pouch. 2. Total 24.1% hospitals are using 3 layers patch with aluminum because of their merits. The merits are preserving the quality of packaged drugs, blocking sun lights and beautiful looking, gas barrier properties and an opening convenience. 3. However, the 3 layers with aluminum packages were little bit more expensive and it can't be used in the microwaves.
