Medical device packaging must protect product integrity and prevent damage throughout the entire supply chain. Strict health and safety regulations make compliance with packaging validation standards essential. CTL Biotec’s packaging validation process complies with ISO 13485 and ISO 11607 sterilized medical devices Packaging standards:
