OEM Manufacturing Process at KONGDY Medical

Our 36-year manufacturing heritage is built on a fully integrated, pharmaceutical-grade production system designed specifically for herbal transdermal patches. Every step follows strict GMP protocols with comprehensive quality control.

Stage 1: Custom Formulation Development

Each project begins with a comprehensive consultation between your brand team and our formulation scientists. We discuss your target market positioning, desired herbal blend, active ingredient concentrations, scent profile, and regulatory requirements for your specific markets. Our team develops a tailored formulation balancing traditional herbal wisdom with modern pharmaceutical efficacy standards. Sample prototypes are typically dispatched within 7-10 working days, with unlimited revision rounds until the formulation matches your specifications.

Stage 2: Botanical Raw Material Sourcing and Qualification

All herbal raw materials are sourced from GAP-certified organic plantations, ensuring sustainable cultivation practices and absence of pesticide contamination. Each incoming lot undergoes comprehensive identity testing via HPLC and GC-MS fingerprinting to verify botanical species, geographic origin, and active compound content. Heavy metals screening, pesticide residue analysis, and microbiological testing are performed on every lot before release to production.

Stage 3: Cleanroom Production

Manufacturing takes place in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom environment with state-of-the-art coating, drying, and laminating equipment. The standardized herbal extract blend is precisely formulated in stainless steel reactors, coated onto non-woven substrate at controlled thickness, dried under controlled humidity, and laminated with the controlled-release membrane. Patches are precision die-cut and individually sealed in aluminum foil pouches with desiccant.

Stage 4: Quality Control and Release

Every production batch undergoes comprehensive QC testing including: HPLC quantification of key active compounds (capsaicin, curcumin, boswellic acids), in vitro drug release profiling, adhesion strength testing, moisture content, microbial limits per USP <61> and <62>, heavy metals screening, and accelerated stability testing. We provide complete batch documentation and retain retention samples for minimum 3 years.
