product-product-categories-contrast-media-pluspak-pluspak-spotlight.jpg

+PLUSPAK is GE Healthcare’s innovative polymer packaging for contrast media solutions. It was designed with workplace safety, efficiency, and convenience in mind.

 

A landmark design this important doesn’t just happen. At GE Healthcare, we think carefully about every detail of our products. The +PLUS PAK polymer bottle was designed to improve workplace safety and efficiency.

 

+PLUS PAK packaging supports reducing the risk of sharps injuries and helps workplace safety.

 

Injuries associated with glass bottles make up an estimated 16% of sharps injuries in healthcare settings. Other sharp items, such as the edges of metal bottle seals, cause an additional 15% of injuries.1

 

Our pharmaceutical-grade polymer bottle won’t shatter when dropped, reducing the risk of injury from broken glass.

 

GE Healthcare’s easy-to-open, metal-free, twist-off polypropylene cap helps avoid possible cuts from metal crimps.

 

Compared to glass, +PLUS PAK packaging was designed to be shatter-resistant to help with workplace safety.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging

+PLUSPAK supports environmentally friendly packaging

 

Less hazardous waste disposal
In a unit that uses 20 100-mL bottles every day,

  • Glass bottles generate 1.9 kg of waste
  • Polypropylene only generates 0.3 kg of waste1

That's a weight difference of 83% in favor of +PLUSPAK, with clear benefits for the cost of waste disposal.1

 

Fully recyclable
+PLUSPAK packaging contains 0% phthalate and meets the requirements of the US Pharmacopoeia. Polypropylene is an environmentally friendly solution that is fully recyclable without harmful emissions. By choosing polypropylene over glass, the use of +PLUSPAK2:

  • Results in 54% lower life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions
  • Requires 45% lower cumulative energy over its life cycle
  • Results in 61% lower impact on ecosystem quality

Polypropylene bottles require less secondary packaging, further reducing your carbon footprint.
