Innovative and “green” to contribute

to your institution’s initiatives

GE HealthCare has a distinguished history of contrast media development, offering a comprehensive product range across modalities, with a range of concentrations and innovative packaging choices. In addition to helping meet patient and procedural needs, we are also committed to helping reduce our carbon footprint.

• 100% recyclable +PLUSPAK packaging
  • A life-cycle analysis showed that our polypropylene bottles, compared to glass, have a 59% lower environmental impact, and requires 45% less cumulative energy¹
  • Our +PLUSPAK bottles also require less secondary packaging, helping reduce the carbon footprint¹

• Multi-dose contrast bottles
  • Larger bottle sizes have a lower environmental impact per dose, due to less bottle material and packaging material required per dose¹

• CT motion™ syringeless technology
  • With the elimination of single use plastics such as syringes, departments reduce the need for storage space, the procurement expense, potential savings in waste management services and best of all – less landfill waste
  • CT motion can help to reduce the amount of contrast that is wasted between patient exams by easily switching from single dose vials to bulk contrast packages²
