It is a well known fact that trace quantities of moisture can ruin medical devices whilst in transit. Moisture can also shorten the shelf-life of the devices and interfere with their effective working when used with patients.
SuperDryPak™ silica gel is an ultra high performance desiccant designed to keep moisture-sensitive medical devices protected during shipping, during its packed shelf life, and even during its working life. It can also protect against oxygen and odour, depending upon the variant used. It is available in a variety of sachet sizes, and in loose beaded and crystal forms.
Any accidental moisture that penetrates the barrier film or pack will be adsorbed by the silica gel and locked away. SuperDryPak™ acts like a “wick” as the water vapour is drawn into the high internal surface area which can be compared to a sponge. The length of the shelf life depends upon the specific desiccant included in the package and the weight, together with the environmental conditions that the packaging is subjected to.
Recommended Applications include: diagnostic test strips, inhalation devices syringes, drug test kits, bacteria & hospital sanitation kits, and any other moisture sensitive device.
SuperDryPak™ Desiccant silica gel is available in bulk or sachets. The sachets can be sealed in tyvek ,or non-woven fabric. They are also available in a variety of colours, which allow the user to easily identify the sachets. Silica gel has a high adsorption capacity at high relative humidities and can be regenerated. Bead shaped gel is low dusting and has several advantages when used for bulk applications. Both bead and granular silica gel are available in a variety of sizes. In addition to humidity control, silica gel has the ability to adsorb polar gases which extends its application areas. Read More

SuperDryPak™ Safe Indicating silica gel contains a safe proprietary colouring agent, which provides a clear and distinct colour change as it absorbs moisture. Like standard blue indicating silica gel, SAFE INDICATING offers a visual determination of whether desiccant has reached its adsorption capacity. However, unlike blue indicating silica gel, it is an environmentally friendly desiccant and can be used as a safe, effective replacement and it does not contain agents, which are classified as potentially carcinogenic.

...After exposure
SuperDryPak™ Blue Indicating silica gel will adsorb moisture in exactly the same way as standard non-indicating (white) silica gel, but they will literally indicate when they are becoming saturated by changing their colour. This is useful in two ways. Firstly, a silica gel sachet or breather unit where the gel has changed colour, gives an immediate warning that it should be replaced. Secondly, if regenerating the silica gel, the self-indicating grade will be ready for reuse, when its original colour has returned. Read More

Formats
We will also manufacture totally non-standard silica gel sachets - sachets of
specific (and unusual) shape, sachets with loops or lengths of tape attached,
sachets with Velcro, sachets in bandoliers or sachets that are individually over-wrapped
in foil or poly pouches. Finally, sachets can be made using a mixture of materials
e.g. silica gel, molecular sieve, alumina, clay, and activated carbon.
