Single Use Technology (SUT) Revolution

The biopharma and medical device industries are in the midst of a quiet but profound transformation. In cleanrooms and labs around the world, the shift from rigid, reusable systems to flexible, single-use technology (SUT) is gaining momentum. This is more than a trend; it’s a revolution in how we manage fluid, ensuring greater safety, speed, and efficiency. At Brevet, our deep expertise in precision plastics and advanced manufacturing places us at the forefront of this demand, perfectly equipped to help our clients navigate this critical change.

The Single-Use Revolution

The push for SUT is driven by a clear need to improve upon traditional methods. Reusable stainless-steel systems require time-consuming and expensive cleaning, validation, and sterilization processes. These processes can create bottlenecks, increase the risk of cross-contamination between product batches, and lead to significant water and energy consumption.

Single-use technology solves these problems by using disposable components and assemblies, including connectors, tubing, bioreactors, and bags. These systems, often made from advanced polymers, are pre-sterilized and ready to use, allowing for faster product changeovers and dramatically reducing the risk of contamination. The result is a more agile, cost-effective, and safer bioprocess.

Beyond Biopharma
SUT in Healthcare

While SUT has gained prominence in biopharma fluid management, its benefits are equally critical in the broader medical field. In cardiovascular surgery, for instance, single-use fluid manifolds and tubing sets are used in life-saving heart-lung bypass machines to ensure a completely sterile and safe fluid path for the patient. In clinical settings, disposable components are crucial for infusion therapy, dialysis, and other applications where cross-contamination is simply not an option. Brevet’s precision-molded components are the unsung heroes in these devices, providing the reliable, leak-proof connections that doctors and patients rely on.

Brevet is Demand Adapted

The success of SUT hinges on the quality of its individual components. A single flaw in a connector or adapter can compromise an entire sterile system, leading to a catastrophic loss of product. This is where Brevet’s commitment to precision manufacturing shines. We are not a simple plastic molder; we are an engineering partner that understands the unique demands of this market.

• Precision Manufacturing: Our process ensures every component, from a standard T-connector to a custom perfusion adapter, is dimensionally perfect. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees a secure, leak-free fit that maintains the integrity of your sterile fluid path.
• Custom Solutions: The bioprocess is rarely standard. Our expertise in contract manufacturing allows us to design and produce custom SUT components and assemblies that are precisely tailored to your specific process. Whether it’s a unique fluid manifold or a specialized reducer, we turn your requirements into a flawless reality.
• Material Expertise: We work with high-quality, medical-grade materials, such as USP Class VI-compliant PVC and polycarbonate. We ensure that our components are biocompatible, sterilizable, and meet the strict regulatory requirements of the medical and biopharma industries.
