Packaging – the heart of the matter

The criticality of packaging cannot be overstated - especially when it comes to synthetic absorbable sutures which are moisture sensitive and tend to lose their tensile strength and absorption properties if not packed with a proper moisture and oxygen resistant barrier which is hermetically sealed. Lotus met this challenge in consultation with DuPont, USA - world-renowned experts in packaging and industrial polymers. After in-depth study and several trials, Lotus custom-developed for the first time in India, a unique, hermetically sealed aluminium peel-off pouch for packaging the entire range of synthetic absorbable sutures. Our efforts did not stop there: because for the first time, in the history of synthetic absorbable sutures, a vacuumed, nitrogen-flushed, secondary aluminium pouch was introduced to provide dual moisture barrier - thus helping maintain the tensile strength of the suture material for the entire duration of its shelf life. In the pursuit of excellence in packaging, Lotus has developed a fully automatic in-line packaging machine where forming, sealing, trimming, printing and cutting are all done in a continuous motion, thus eliminating human error and handling. As a result, Lotus has not only increased productivity but also ensured minimum human contact. Custom - built in-line automatic packaging machine Back to Top
