DuPont has expanded its sterile operations via an addition to its healthcare manufacturing facility in Heredia, Costa Rica, enabling the site to produce sterile packaging for the global medical device industry while also increasing the capacity of the site’s existing medical tubing operations.
To serve Healthcare customers in the Caribbean and more broadly across the Americas, the Heredia operation has expanded by 16,000 square feet. The new space accommodates additional extrusion equipment and production lines, enabling production of sterile packaging leveraging Tyvek – such as pouches, header bags and lids – and increasing DuPont’s extruded tubing production capacity.
The new expansion is ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, with its technical, assembly and packaging staff adhering to the highest quality standards and protocols. To support current and new customers, the facility is operating on a 24/7 production schedule.
DuPont’s products, services and expertise for the healthcare industry include extruded tubing and subassemblies, advanced catheter assembly, medical balloons, skin contact devices, smart wearables, additive manufacturing, laser processing, precision injection-molding, medical device fabrication, machining and sterile packaging enabled by Tyvek.
