Recently, Finetool Saudi Arabia Company Limited of Jeddah selected Versaflex HC for the resealing septum in its insert-molded IV bottle cap. By choosing Versaflex HC over vulcanized rubber materials, Finetool improved the resealing performance of the septum and was able to cut down on processing steps for significant system cost reductions. Apart from manufacturing optimization, Versaflex HC helped Finetool to avoid coring—the tendency for a material to produce tiny fragments when penetrated by a needle—with 6mm IV infusion spikes and needles 16 gauge and smaller, even after multiple uses.
