FlexShield provides puncture and abrasion resistance in order to safely ship medical instruments without incurring damage to external packaging. Made from a durable plastic film that eliminates the need for rigid blister packaging, FlexShield ensures the integrity of the sterile barrier between instruments and outside contaminates from the time of assembly to final use in the operating room.

FlexShield is available in three standard sizes, and can be designed and manufactured to custom specifications. The medical device pouch is made from a USP Class VI certified thermoplastic polyurethane film that is compatible with EtO and Gamma sterilization. UFP Technologies manufactures and packages FlexShield within its ISO Class 8 (Class 100,000) clean room facilities.

FlexShield will be debuted at HealthPack March 12-14, 2013 in Louisville, KY.
