The SEEkey™ Essentials
Innovative and easy-to-use solutions by SEE Forming will provide better device protection, reduce mishandling and create significant cost savings.
Rigid Trays
All medical device packaging is designed to protect your products – but that’s where the comparison ends. Most rigid trays are cumbersome. Constructed using thick plastic with snap buttons and retainers, they are inefficient and hard to use. Rigid trays by SEE Forming address these issues and more.

SEEkeyMD® Retainers
This is the game changer the industry has been searching for. By incorporating the SEEkeyMD® into your medical device packaging design, you’ll reduce plastic usage, enhance product protection, decrease packaging costs and increase end-user satisfaction.

SEEkeyMINI™ Retainers
Smaller doesn’t mean less effective. The SEEkeyMINI™ provides the same protection and easy of use as the SEEkeyMD® with a smaller profile. Simpler to use than a light switch, the SEEkeyMINI™ simplifies packaging design, reduces plastic usage and provides the ultimate in device protection.

SEE Forming Examples
Device Trays
Problem:
ABS is a cost-effective material for OEMs to mold their devices. However, the challenge when using this material is to eliminate fine particulate which has surfaced during transit testing simulation. A cover is not effective because there will be clearance between the device and tray and/or cover. Snap-buttons pose what we call “the Goldilocks challenge”: the almost unattainable goal of finding insertion, hold and tug out removal forces that aren’t too strong or loose – they are just right. In a surgical setting, a nurse must tug or hold while the other is applying a counter pulling action.
Solution:
SEEkeyMD® compresses the device between the tray and the key, so they all move together during testing, eliminating the particulate. The nurse now needs only a 1.5-pound press to release the device from the tray.
Handling Tray
Problem:
A CAPA was issued for a tray cover packaging method which has high product loss. The packaging works well for dock-to-dock shipping and transit testing. However, it doesn’t encompass security during assembly. Ironically the tugging and pulling action to fasten and release the tray and cover is the main culprit of product loss.
Solution:
SEEkeyMD® provides a simple yet innovative method which traditional thermoforming cannot accomplish. The tray provides 100% product containment immediately after each device is inserted.

Problem:
Angie (scrub nurse): “The defibrillator-like devices are expensive, small and hard to handle.” She requested an alternative transfer method for maximum control, eliminating the need to touch the device.
Solution:
A design within the same footprint and has all the handling and control elements suggested.
What Our Customers Have to Say
“[SEEkey™] allows the end user to remove the device freely and safely from the tray, as opposed to the ridge tray designs that have overly aggressive snaps for device security resulting in potential damaged products and frustration through the end user having to aggressively pull, twist, bend, shake, and even pry the device from its package. Therefore, it is my opinion that this new design increases efficiency and the end user satisfaction while minimizing the sterile field waste.”
Charles Kanazeh – Associate Director, Labeling & Packaging Engineering – BD Interventional – Surgery
“You don’t see something this revolutionary in the (plastic) film area. The cost-saving potential and the design aspect – it is really impressive. I mean, it’s just something really different. This is something that you could talk about that’s totally above and beyond what the other companies have. It’s great, great design.”
Steven Bakus – Senior Packaging Engineer, BD Surgery Packaging Engineering
“The product security that the SEEkey offers is second to none. It cuts down on development time substantially – I’m talking 50% or greater. And then the environmental benefits are unmatched. The reduction in plastics is just outstanding, and as we continue to move toward sustainable solutions, I think SEEforming could play a major role.”
David DiVaccaro – DiVaccaro Consulting Group, LLC
“SEEkey™ is the first real design innovation in our business. I’ve been in this industry for almost 28 years now. This is the first real pure design innovation allowing us to offer you know real sustainable solutions which allow for savings in plastic and improved packaging functionality. It is quite helpful from a pricing and usability standpoint.”
