Silicon Patch
The Silicone Patch provides a quick and convenient method for sample withdrawal or injecting precise doses of liquid into Hydropac™ Pouches with a syringe. When pierced by a syringe needle, the material self-seals and remains sealed after removal of the needle. Each patch includes a FDA grade adhesive (outer ring) on one side. The centre area is free of adhesive, allowing a syringe to only penetrate the patch and pouch film materials. Apply multiple patches for multiple injections or withdrawals. Patches simply remain with the pouch for disposal.
