Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Key technical insights for global medical device procurement officers and quality managers.
Is your hydrogel contract packaging FDA-compliant and ISO-certified?
Yes. Our packaging facilities operate strictly under ISO 13485:2016 and MDSAP certified quality management systems. We are registered with the U.S. FDA, ensuring all medical packaging meets stringent ISO 11607 sterile barrier requirements.
What packaging formats do you offer for hydrogel medical products?
We offer multi-layer foil pouches, breathable Tyvek® sterile pouches, cold-form aluminum blisters, thermoformed plastic blister trays, and continuous roll-stock formats tailored for custom device shapes and sizes.
Do you perform packaging integrity and sealing validation in-house?
Yes. As a full-service microbiology and regulatory testing lab, we execute full IQ/OQ/PQ sealing validation protocols, peel strength testing (ASTM F88), dye penetration leak testing (ASTM F1929), and accelerated shelf-life stability studies (ASTM F1980).
Can C.G. Laboratories support international buyers with small pilot runs and large OEM volumes?
Absolutely. We accommodate R&D development batches, clinical trial manufacturing runs, and large-scale commercial OEM production runs with complete traceability and export documentation for global shipments.
