Nylon (PA) Thermoforming Film — Medical Care Package F2615-M (120μm)
F2615-M is a 120μm NY/PE deep-draw vacuum thermoforming base film for sterilized medical equipment, supporting forming depths up to 30mm for bulkier devices, and suitable for E.O. or gamma (r-ray) sterilization.
A Deep-Draw Base Film for Sterilized Medical Equipment
F2615-M is the 120μm grade in Intlpak's NE medical series, supporting forming cavities up to 30mm for bulkier devices that the shallower F2624-M grade cannot accommodate. It is produced by computer-controlled co-extrusion with automatic foreign-object detection and thickness control in clean-room conditions, and retains the series' formability, pinhole resistance, and inspection clarity at the heavier gauge.
Where F2615-M Is Used
- 1
Deep-Draw Thermoforming Base Film
Vacuum thermoforming base film for disposable medical supplies and medical equipment. F2615-M is the 120μm deep-draw grade in the NE nylon (PA)/PE series, forming cavities up to 30mm for devices that will not lie flat in a shallow tray.
- 2
Syringe and Gauze Packaging
Injection syringes, gauze, cotton pads, and sputum suction tubes. The nylon (PA) side is corona treated, so the pack can carry printed device identification and lot data directly rather than relying on an applied label.
- 3
Bulkier Sterilized Equipment
Bulkier sterilized medical equipment requiring a deeper forming cavity. Elongation 450/500% carries the web into a 30mm draw, and 120μm of wall keeps the formed cavity rigid enough to hold shape through handling and sterilization.
- 4
E.O. and Gamma Sterilization
Packaging lines requiring E.O. (ethylene oxide) or gamma (r-ray) sterilization compatibility. Dual-route suitability matters most on deep-draw packs, where a change of sterilization method would otherwise mean re-proving the forming process. Sterile barrier validation remains with the device maker.
Full Specifications — Nylon/PE Medical Thermoforming Film Series
F2615-M is the 120μm deep-draw grade in Intlpak's NE nylon/PE medical thermoforming film family — a 120 micron medical forming film for a 10–30mm forming depth, with 10% haze and a corona-treated nylon surface, suitable for E.O. or gamma (r-ray) sterilization. The table below shows F2615-M alongside the 80–150μm grades in the same series.

Questions About F2615-M
F2615-M and the food-grade F2615 are the same gauge — are they interchangeable?
No. Both are 120 μm, but F2615 is a food vacuum packaging film while F2615-M is the medical device forming base film specified for E.O. and gamma sterilization. Medical packaging carries sterilization validation and regulatory documentation, so always order by the full part number including the -M suffix.
What devices does F2615-M's 10–30 mm range cover?
Most routine devices — syringes, catheters, suture materials, small instrument sets. Flatter items use less material on F2624-M (10–15 mm), while deep instrument trays need F2606-M (40–50 mm). F2703 at 110 μm overlaps from 20 mm up, so it is worth comparing for the deeper half of this range.
What is the practical benefit of supporting both E.O. and gamma?
Fewer part numbers and less validation overhead. One film covering both routes means that switching sterilization method, or serving markets that use different processes, requires no change of packaging material — only supplementary qualification for the new process. For device makers selling across multiple markets that is a real simplification of inventory and documentation.
How are top web and sealing settled for F2615-M?
The top web is a breathable medical-grade material — dialysis paper or Tyvek — permitting sterilant exchange. Seal parameters (temperature, pressure, dwell) depend on your actual top web and machine, and must be verified by peel strength and seal integrity testing, then documented within your ISO 11607-related sterile barrier system validation.
How do I obtain quality and cleanliness documentation for F2615-M?
The film is produced in a GMP clean-room under ISO 9001 with raw-material traceability. If your submission requires cleanliness class statements, particulate data or bioburden reports, tell our engineering team your target market and regulatory pathway and we will supply the corresponding documents and samples.
We need to inspect the device through the pack before it ships — how clear does a medical forming film get?
Clear enough to read position and orientation, and the figure is published. F2615-M reads 10% haze at 120 μm, against 5.7% for the 80 μm grade and 12.5% for the 150 μm grade — haze rises with the gauge needed for deeper cavities. It is rated for a 10–30 mm forming depth with a corona-treated nylon face for print and lamination.
What packaging suits bulkier medical devices that still need a flexible pack?
A mid-gauge forming film gives depth without moving to a rigid tray. F2615-M is the 120 μm nylon/PE grade rated for a 10–30 mm forming depth, suitable for E.O. or gamma (r-ray) sterilization. Above that range, F2606-M at 150 μm covers 40–50 mm. The film is the forming web; the lidding material is specified separately to suit your opening and porosity needs.
