A METHOD FOR PACKING AND STERILIZATION OF BIORESORBABLE SCAFFOLD SYSTEMS WITHOUT AFFECTING THE SCAFFOLD CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

The invention discloses a method for packing and sterilization of bioresorbable scaffold systems without affecting the scaffold characteristics. In accordance to the above objects, the present invention provides an effective method of packing and sterilizing the drug coated scaffold which does not affect the functional and structural characteristics of the scaffold. The present invention also provides a method of packing such that it does not affect the scaffold and the drug coated on scaffold, by maintaining an optimum level of oxygen between 0.01% - 3% and moisture level below 1100 ppm in the packaging system.
