Stevanato Group’s SG ITC (Integrated Tip Cap) twist-off closure, is a user-friendly system solution for Luer Lock syringes, which will now be included in Gerresheimer program.

The integrated seal cap consists of two components: an elastomeric component, which is available in different formulations and a rigid, translucent polymer cap. Compared to traditional Luer Cone systems, this solution offers a syringe closure with increased stability, thus protecting the drug product, according to the company. The seal cap is securely screwed onto the Luer Lock syringe, so that accidental removal of the cap is prevented. The familiar twist-off function offers medical specialists improved user-friendliness without impairing the integrity of the pre-fillable syringes.

“We are delighted that Gerresheimer is adopting our leading technology. This closure system for syringes adds up to the EZ-fill® platform for vials Gerresheimer already joined a few years ago, broadening the standardized solutions available in the market. Pharma customers can benefit from increased flexibility, consistent quality and safety, and reduced time-to-market,” said Mauro Stocchi, Chief Business Officer at Stevanato Group.
