A waterproof, rigid suitcase with milled foam inside and die-cut in a personalized way, is the packaging you need to transport your medical supplies and equipment.

Ensuring that medical equipment is not damaged during transport from the manufacturing company to the retailer's company is a great challenge.

The same happens with any type of medical material that needs to be transported.

Manufacturers of medical material and equipment, laboratories, as well as other medical specialists, assume damage to equipment during transport as something usual, reaching the previously calculated damaged merchandise on the cost of their sales.

Risks of transporting medical equipment without proper packaging

During the transport of medical equipment, from the time it leaves the factory until it reaches its destination, its only protection is its packaging.

The risks of damage during the transfer of medical equipment are a threat to their manufacturers as they can lead to high costs for the company.

What are the most common damages that occur during the transport of medical equipment?

The most common damage caused to medical devices and equipment during transport (air, road, sea or rail) are:

• Chafing
  
• Falls during handling
  
• Faults due to sudden movements
  
• Critical hits
  
• Breaks
  
• Breakdowns due to constant vibrations
  
• Failures due to repetitive shocks
  
• Damage due to sudden inclinations
  
• Persistent vibrations causing breakdowns
  
• Flattening
  
• Extreme Moisture Deterioration
  
• Loss of content
  
• Looting of merchandise

Optimizing the packaging will prevent damage that may occur to medical equipment during transport.

ow should medical material and equipment be packed?

To avoid damage and protect medical equipment during transport, it is necessary to design and choose the appropriate packaging.

Medical equipment must be packed in a personalized way, according to its fragility and value.

It must be taken into account that, during the transport and shipment of medical material and technology, in addition to protecting the products due to their great value, health and safety regulations must be complied with.

Case, Suitcase and Flight Case with custom die-cut foam

It is necessary to pack all the material that makes up medical equipment in a sealed case or suitcase that ensures maximum protection. This case or suitcase must be rigid and resistant, with foam inside to be die-cut in a personalized way.

What is a Flight Case?

A Flight Case is a type of specialized packaging for goods that, due to their value and/or fragility, need adequate and personalized protection. It is provided with wheels which makes it easier to move around and can be filled with custom die-cut foam.

Medical material and equipment can be packed in Flight Cases in the same way as in waterproof cases and rigid suitcases.

Examples of medical material and equipment that need to be packed in a Case, Suitcase or Flight Case with die-cut foam:
