Decorate Your Cleanroom With Compliance ^SM

Medical device packaging is becoming more complicated. To stay compliant, partner with the professionals at Van der Stahl Scientific. For nearly two decades, Van der Stahl Scientific has provided precision packaging machinery to help our customers stay compliant to our growing regulatory environment.

Seal and Cut Rollstock Pouches...

The new MD-380 medical pouch sealer utilizes a constant heat system and is able to reach temperatures adequate for autoclavable pouches. The MD-380 is fully validatable as this sealer controls temperature and pressure and utilizes an audible tone for pouch release.

Seal and Print With a Single Step...

The MD-850 and MD-880 medical pouch sealers not only create seal-to-seal consistency, they can also print important data on the non-sterile side of the pouch. Don't be fooled by the small size of this advanced sealer. It can create impressive packaging throughput for your medical device program.

On-Your-Desktop Sterile Packaging Laboratory

Our PTT-100V is designed to keep your sterile packaging program on track. Fast and easy to use, this compact unit can save your company the perils of a packaging recall. This peel tester and inspection device can be solely dedicated to the packaging efforts at your firm.

A Closer Look at Compliance...

Van der Stahl Scientific has a patented solution to seal integrity compliance. The industry agrees that every possible tool and protocol available should be implemented to assure our medical devices make it sterile to the point of care. Add visual inspection to your toolkit.

Precision Medical Device Vacuum Packaging

Learn the many benefits of vacuum packaging your medical device. With exquisite controls and fully validatable, the V-402 leads the medical packaging industry through unmatched performance.

Seal and Print

In-process printing is a great way to add compliant pouch information, such as expiration dating and lot traceability numbers.

In a single step, the MD-850 and MD-880 medical pouch sealers can also put compliant printing on the non-sterile side of the seal. Font size can be adjusted in order to accomodate smaller pouch widths. The system uses a dot-matrix printer head and prints on the TyVek side of the pouch for long-lasting printed image.

As the industry seems to move to an individual workstation solution for medical packaging, the MD-850 is an excellent response. Medical device companies have suffered the perils of a single, monolithic packaging machine and are now seeing the logic behind standalone workstations (blog post). Read our blog posts and learn more about what's trending in sterile device packaging standalone workstations. Efficiency has never been more important in order to manage costs in healthcare devices. To request a printed and sealed sample of your pouch, contact customer service at 800-550-3854. Learn More

A Better View

A human eye is an incredible machine. Despite our incredible computer and sensor technologies, we can’t even begin to touch the surface of the human eye’s amazing capabilities.

Viu

It has a 200 degree viewing angle, can see 2.7 million colors and has a possible contrast ratio of about 1,000,000 to 1. The eye is the ultimate inspection device, and yet we seem to lean away from the human eye’s capability to other empirical data portals. In the medical device packaging industry, inspection and monitoring are king. In order for us to be certain that the medical devices that we cocoon to market are kept viable and efficacious, we need to use all tools available in science. Remember, the Viu unit now comes with a free download of our helper app that is available for your iPhone or Android device. Learn More
