On the heels of last year's widely-successful inaugural Sterile Packaging Day event, SPMC is celebrating Sterile Packaging Day again on Wednesday, April 13, 2022. This year's celebration theme is "Better Together!" Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, our industry has demonstrated extreme flexibility and resilience in our ability to innovate, develop, produce and sterilize life-saving devices, PPE and patient-focused drug delivery products. Thanks to the collaborative spirit within our interconnected environment, our commitment to patient safety has remained steadfast. We are thankful to be part of such a strong industry and we salute and celebrate all those who support us. This year, we look forward to meeting with our suppliers, customers, colleagues and friends because we truly are Better Together! We invite you to learn more, get involved and celebrate Sterile Packaging Day with us on April 13, 2022! Our Toolkit will show you how.
SPMC founded Sterile Packaging Day to recognize and thank all of our partners in the supply chain who work together to deliver innovative, safe and sterilized devices and supplies to medical experts in order to provide excellence in patient care.
Across the care continuum, the sterile packaging industry has come together to celebrate the Better Together theme, underscoring the strength of our commitment to patient safety. We asked leaders across the supply chain to share what this year's theme means to them. Read their thoughts below and connect via LinkedIn through the links underneath each quote.
Patient safety is at the heart of sterile packaging. Doctors, nurses, EMTs, caregivers and even patients themselves can effectively administer care thanks to the safety and integrity of the sterile packages protecting the medical devices and supplies they need.
When you or a loved one requires medical care, your focus is on a successful outcome and recovery. Knowing that the medical tools necessary for treatment are protected from contamination offers you and your medical team important peace of mind.
From the procurement of raw materials, to the stringent manufacturing process of the package itself, every link in the supply chain plays a vital role in creating protective packaging that can withstand rigorous sterilization processes and maintain its sterility until it's opened.
Take a moment to recognize and thank a colleague or partner within the sterile packaging supply chain who works collaboratively with you to ensure life-saving devices are sterile at point of use. The SPMC has shareable graphics to help you say thanks.
