Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an aseptic package and a method of sterilization using such a package. Background technique

[0002] Some activities involve the transport of sterile parts or elements in sterile packaging. This is especially true for syringe components that must be transported between the place of manufacture and the place of assembly to form the syringe and fill the syringe body.

[0003] A known sterilization method for syringe components consists of placing these components in packages made of flexible airtight material and then exposing these thus filled packages to gamma rays. This method has the disadvantage for the syringe manufacturer that the non-sterile components must be packaged in non-sterile packaging and then passed on to a service provider specialized in this type of sterilization, after which the said The service provider passes these packages to the purchaser of the parts for assembly and / or filling of the syringe. ...
