Attorney-at-Law and Healthcare Packaging legal columnist Eric F. Greenberg says to watch for proposed regulation on medical device identification by year-end. He says when it comes to creating useful information, and aiding with track and trace, safety, counterfeit prevention and many other goals, it's packaging, or in this case labeling, to the rescue again.

Dispensing system allows pain relief delivery from any angle
Medical device maker Gebauer Company's topical skin refrigerant container is easy to use, and it employs new actuator technology that benefits healthcare practitioners and patients. Sold directly to licensed healthcare practitioners, the product can be prescribed to patients. Its delivery system uses Crown's 45-mm slim containers with Gebauer's new actuator technology to allow clinicians to spray the product from any angle. The Sure Lock Technology on the actuator prevents accidental dispensing during storage, shipping or periods of non-use at the doctor's office. The slim design further eases dispensing because it is easy to grip and maneuver. The partnership of Crown and Gebauer created a quality-focused product, essential in the medical device field.
