The Solution for Aseptic Processing

Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers can’t afford to expose their drug products to the risks associated with unsuitable packaging components. This is especially true in today’s manufacturing environment where emerging regulatory guidelines require vial capping operations in a clean room or inside the sterile suite.

To help comply with regulatory guidances and to help reduce risk, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers the world over rely on packaging components designed and manufactured by West Pharmaceutical Services.

Now, West has expanded its leadership position with the introduction of Flip-Off^® CCS seals – clean, certified, sterilized.

Flip-Off^® CCS seals address pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers’ need for secondary closures used in or near aseptic filling operations. CCS seals are the first in the market to be certified with regard to bioburden and cleanliness. They are designed to be used in a sterile manufacturing environment and are able to meet emerging requirements for capping vials in a clean room.

West has developed a production process to control bioburden and particles with established specifications for these attributes.

Flip-Off^® CCS seals are manufactured to the same exacting standards used for West’s Flip-Off^® seals. They provide excellent machineability on high-speed filling lines and have tamper-evident properties. End-users can remove them easily from the vial.

Further, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers can incorporate anti-counterfeiting protection, cautionary statements and point-of-use instructions on Flip-Off^® seals by applying West’s proprietary technologies.

West manufactures Flip-Off^® CCS seals in Europe; the seals are available in 13mm and 20mm sizes.
