Overmoulded assemblies are components created by molding a secondary material over base substrate, such as tubing or connectors. Silicone and Thermo-Plastic Elastomers (TPE) are the most commonly used materials due to their flexibility, durability, and exceptional biocompatibility. These assemblies provide a seamless and integrated solution that minimizes the risk of leakage and contamination, making them ideal for aseptic fluid transfer in biopharma applications.
Any breach in sterility can lead to contamination, which may result in costly product recalls, regulatory non-compliance, or even serious health risks to patients. Contaminated products might need to be discarded, causing significant financial losses and production delays. In severe cases, contaminated biopharmaceuticals can lead to adverse patient reactions, resulting in legal liabilities and reputational damage.
