Gerresheimer is launching Gx Elite, a product line of glass injection vials designed to maximize patient safety and production efficiency. Top quality and shatter resistance are the key priorities of the range.

“The trend toward sophisticated and innovative drugs such as biopharmaceuticals and cytostatics, as well as innovative vaccines, is placing new demands on the quality and performance of primary packing solutions,” said Holger Krenz, Global Vice President Business Development High Value Products Tubular Glass at Gerresheimer. “At the same time, these new solutions are changing the division of work between the pharmaceutical industry and packaging manufacturers.”

Gx Elite vials are the result of many years of product development and are manufactured in a patented production process that completely eliminates microdefects measuring 100 µm. The vials can therefore be filled with drugs quickly and safely. The vials optionally come with the Velocity outer coating developed by Corning, which reduces frictional resistance and allows a more efficient filling process, significantly cutting downtimes on the filling lines.
