KiiP

Kilmer innovations in Packaging (KiiP) is a global, volunteer community advancing the science, engineering, and real-world performance of sterile medical device packaging, breaking down silos from manufacturing to the point of use.

Coming out of 2019's Kilmer Conference, a group of eight people formed KiiP to lead the way to innovations in medical device packaging into the future - while breaking barriers between the groups in the sterility value chain to point of use.

Improving patient outcomes by advancing healthcare packaging science, engineering, and understanding

Challenging the status quo by facilitating collaboration, sharing knowledge, and promoting innovation and education throughout the healthcare packaging value chain

Please note - Negative or inflammatory comments will not be tolerated. This is a place for people to share, collaborate, and build upon other’s ideas regarding sterile packaging - getting it sterile and keeping it sterile to point of use.

Thank you and keep the momentum going! We can’t wait to see what this group brings!
