Placon, a leader in sustainable and innovative medical packaging solutions, has announced the launch of its new BargerGard® line of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pouches and tip protectors. These products are specifically designed to provide durable, sterile packaging for delicate medical devices, enhancing protection and safety during transport and handling.

The BargerGard® line is made from nonabrasive TPU material, which is known for its durability and ability to prevent scratches, dents, and other damage to sensitive medical components such as catheters, needles, screws, and drills. This packaging line is a significant upgrade over traditional foam and vinyl options, offering a cleaner, more reliable solution compatible with industry-standard sterilization methods including ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma, and eBeam processes.

The flexibility of the BargerGard® line is reflected in its variety: Placon offers six different sizes of pouches and tip protectors, available with or without flaps. All items in the line are manufactured in ISO Class 8 cleanrooms to meet stringent cleanliness standards required for medical packaging.

According to Joyce Verstegen, Director of Medical Sales at Placon, the new stock line reduces lead times, allowing healthcare providers to access these high-quality packaging solutions more quickly and easily. This focus on immediate availability without the need for custom ordering positions BargerGard® as a convenient, effective alternative for the medical industry.

Placon’s commitment to quality is underscored by its adherence to ISO 13485 standards, which certify the consistency and safety of its manufacturing processes. In an industry where contamination and damage can have serious consequences, these new TPU pouches and tip protectors represent a proactive step towards safer, more reliable medical device packaging.

The addition of these innovative solutions reinforces Placon’s standing as a top-tier provider in medical packaging, supporting healthcare organizations with practical, sterile, and sustainable packaging options. As healthcare packaging evolves, Placon’s BargerGard® line is positioned to meet the critical needs of hospitals and clinics globally, ensuring that critical medical devices arrive intact and ready for use.
