Abstract
Recently there have been significant advances in packaging those medical prod ucts requiring moderate and high barrier protection. Examples include intravenous drug solutions that require protection from evaporation; bacterial diagnostic mate rials that are highly sensitive to H2O; and medicated petrolatum burn wound dressings that need a nearly perfect O2 barrier for storage. The conversion of this type of package to horizontal dual web form/fill/seal machines has resulted in 1) lower costs due to labor and material savings and 2) improved package appearance and per formance. In addition to a discussion of applications, technical consideration is given to forming, registration, and package cutting.
