These exhaustive controls guarantee high levels of quality and safety of all our products which possess the full Quality Certificate according to the European Economic Community directive 93/42/ECC for medical devices.
Delivery systems
Grifols Partnership offers you a wide range of containers made from a variety of materials in different sizes to meet every need.
Premixed in customized IV PP bags
Polypropylene flexible bags are the container of choice for packaging premixed parenteral drugs; they are simple and easy to use.
One of the main advantages of this type of packaging is that no air exchange is required and the bag collapses allowing the solution to flow down easily.
Different options are also available in terms of colors, size, graphics and overwrapping to clearly differentiate strengths or types of solution.
Choose between one port, two ports, twist-off or luer valve.
We can support you in developing customized containers according to your specifications.
