Your PLUS with Gerresheimer
Gx® bulk and Gx RTF® format
Gx® bulk needle syringes are washed, sterilized, and filled by the customer. For this form, there is a division of labor between the primary packaging manufacturer and the pharmaceutical industry where we provide the unsterilized syringe bodies in flat trays (Rondo trays).
Gx RTF® needle syringes are washed, siliconized, pre-assembled with needle shields or tip caps and sterilized with ethylene oxide (EtO) by Gerresheimer Medical Systems. This means we deliver the prefillable glass needle syringe completely prepared for aseptic filling.
Gx RTF® syringes are packed in nest and tub for easy handling and filling. These nests are suitable for all usual filling systems. Gx RTF® syringes are nested by:
- 100 nest (10x10) for 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml long and 1.0 – 3.0 ml
- 160 nest (10x16) for 0.5 ml und 1.0 ml long
Syringe sizes from 0.5 ml to 2.25 ml (additional formats upon request)
The high-quality prefillable glass syringes are produced from type I glass. The prefillable needle syringes are available in syringe sizes from 0.5 ml to 2.25 ml (individual solutions on request).
