Steri-Tamp® Tamper-Evident Sterile Seals by Allied Pharmacy Products, Inc. | Steri-Tamp [VIDEO]




The only single-use, tamper-evident seal that provides and maintains a 100% sterile barrier.


Company Background

Established in 2010, Allied Pharmacy Products, Inc. was created from a commitment to enhance the preparation and distribution of intravenous medication within hospital pharmacies and compounding environments. The development of Steri-Tamp® stems from the insights of a pharmacist who recognized the imperative for improved tamper-evident measures and sterility in IV preparation. Throughout our journey, Allied Pharmacy Products, Inc. has remained dedicated to listening and responding to the needs of pharmacists. This ongoing responsiveness has been instrumental in our continuous product line expansion.


Product Overview

The Steri-Tamp® product line features seven cutting-edge tamperevident seals. Our IV bag port seals come in blue, red, and yellow (labeled CHEMO) variants. For vial seals, we offer options in 13 mm (red), 20 mm (silver), and 28 mm (blue). Among these, our belly button bag seals (green) stand out for their ability to adhere to both the ICU medical “belly button” bag port and the top of a 13 mm vial.

Steri-Tamp® has introduced specialized IV bag port seals tailored to meet the labeling requirements of USP 800 and ISMP. These seals offer a streamlined solution for handling paralytic agents and hazardous drugs in a unified workflow. 

What sets Steri-Tamp seals apart is their true tamper-evident design. Utilizing dual-layer technology, these seals serve as a clear indicator to hospital staff if a bag or vial has been tampered with or used. Removing the top foil layer reveals an “opened” layer, after which it cannot be reapplied. Thanks to a 3X stronger adhesive, Steri-Tamp ensures a 100% sterile barrier.

In addition to our sterile options, we also offer two non-sterile syringe seals. These seals boast increased tensile strength, making them easy to remove from the liner and apply to a wide range of containers, including syringes, inhalers, EpiPens, insulin pens, and more. Our latest innovation, the Tamper-Clear Syringe Seal®, enables visibility of syringe markings and barcode scanning on syringes, inhalers, insulin pens, and other related items.


Features & Options

Steri-Tamp® IV Bag Port Seals:

• Deliver a foolproof and potentially life-saving method to ascertain medication dispensing.

• Safeguard the IV admixture bag’s point of entry from contamination and accidental double dosing.

• Securely attach to the port through a simple “twist” mechanism, ensuring an airtight seal.

• The green belly button bag seal is purpose-built for the unique “belly button” port on ICU medical bags and can also be used on 13 mm vial tops.

Steri-Tamp® Vial Seals:

• Designed to lie flat on the vial top, effectively preventing bacteria from entering the vial, without overlapping the edges.

• Preserve the medication’s integrity.

• Specially sized for 28 mm, 20 mm, and 13 mm vial tops, ensuring the right seal for the corresponding vial size.

Steri-Tamp® Syringe Seals:

• Offer non-sterile solutions to provide tamper-evidence for syringes and other medical containers.

• The innovative Tamper-Clear Syringe Seal® provides clear visibility to the syringe barrel and facilitates barcode scanning, making it ideal for sealing small oral, pediatric, and NICU syringes.

Available in rolls of 1,000 seals each.

All our seals contribute to reducing waste, streamlining workflow, and ultimately saving you time and money.
