CONTRAST MEDIA

GE HealthCare has a distinguished history of contrast media development, offering a comprehensive product range across modalities, with a range of concentrations and innovative packaging choices.

INNOVATIVE PACKAGING

+PLUSPAK 100% recyclable packaging

Our +PLUSPAK packaging, used for certain contrast media products, is 100% recyclable. A life-cycle analysis showed that our polypropylene bottles, compared to glass, have a 59% lower environmental impact, and require 45% less cumulative energy. Our +PLUSPAK bottles, also require less secondary packaging, helping to reduce carbon footprint.3
IODINE RECYCLING

Protecting and optimizing iodine

We have been recycling iodine-based contrast media for healthcare facilities since 2006. Initially launched in Norway, we now offer this recycling program in 11 European countries and, in 2021, expanded it into Canada and the United States.4
