Talecris takes pride in ensuring that the distribution of our therapeutic products meets high standards of safety and product integrity.

Product Integrity:

To combat product tampering and counterfeiting, Talecris utilizes currently available packaging options such as shrink-banding, tamper-evident labeling, and tamper-evident cartons. Clear plastic shrink-banding covers the neck and lid of the bottle and comes with a pull-tab for easy removal. If tampering has occurred, the shrink-band will be broken or loosened, and the disruption will be obvious to the naked eye. The addition of the Talecris logo on the shrink-banding makes the casing difficult to duplicate.

Cold-chain Supply:

Plasma-derived products are sensitive to extreme temperatures and need to be transported domestically and around the world in a temperature-controlled cold chain solution. The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing article "Warming up to cold chain supply" (PDF) describes how Talecris was able to develop cold chain solutions designed to ensure that product integrity would be assured even at extreme temperatures.

Talecris has also integrated environmentally friendly insulated shipping containers into its cold-chain supply. The fully degradable Control Temp Blue™ container provides enhanced temperature protection necessary to safely transport Talecris' critical care treatments. Read more about Control Temp Blue (PDF).

Distribution Networks:

Talecris utilizes its select patient-advocacy and distributor partnerships to deliver its products efficiently and safely across the globe. Key examples are the ongoing partnerships that facilitate the Prolastin Direct™ (formerly Talecris Direct) delivery program and our authorized distribution partners around the world.
