Needle Protection System Needle-Trap

Worldwide unique label with integrated needle trap to protect against needlestick injuries after injections.

Needle-Trap: Innovative Needle Protection System for Prefilled Syringes

Every year, more than one million needlestick injuries occur in Europe's hospitals and medical practices. Physicians, nurses, and caregivers are exposed to an increased risk of infection. Legal requirements such as the EU Directive “2010/32/EU on the prevention of needlestick injuries in the hospital and healthcare sector” or the specifications of the US federal agency NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) for safe instruments are intended to protect medical personnel. Schreiner MediPharm's Needle-Trap needle protection system offers reliable protection for healthcare users and patients as well as a cost-efficient product for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Needle-Trap – making safety a snap

Security Labels

Specialty labels for a secure supply chain—with first opening indication, tamper evidence, counterfeit protection, identification and tracking.

No Chance for Criminals: Security Labels for Drug Safety

Counterfeit drugs have been a growing threat and global challenge to the pharmaceutical industry for years, meanwhile affecting not only developing countries and emerging markets. There is also a growing risk of gray market activities and illegal reuse of original containers. Accordingly, there are increasing regulations that require solutions for product and brand protection as well as supply chain tracking.
With Schreiner MediPharm's customized security solutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers protect their drugs and support the integrity and security of their supply chain. Depending on the threat scenario, an individual security concept is developed for the respective packaging type, whether folding cartons or primary containers such as syringes and vials.

Autoinjector-Label

Multifunctional labels labels for pens and autoinjectors

Autoinjector-Label: Convenient and Safe Self-Injection

Pens and autoinjectors for self-medication are designed to make everyday life easier for patients and enable reliable use. Safety for the user is therefore the top priority in the development of self-injection systems. Schreiner MediPharm's multifunctional labeling solutions for injection devices support patient safety and user-friendliness.
The Pen- and Autoinjector-Labels are equipped with individually combinable functions and are tailored to the requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers and the needs of users. Particularly innovative are injection systems that are equipped with NFC labels and thus become “smart devices” that interactively support patients during application.

Drug Protection Labels for Sensitive APIs

Specialty Labels for UV and light protection, cryogenic labels and labels with gas barrier function

Reliable protection of sensitive substances: Customized functional labels

Novel therapies based on mRNA substances as well as cell and gene therapies are becoming more and more important. However, these substances are particularly sensitive. They have to be stored and transported at extremely low temperatures.
In addition, many active ingredients must be protected against light. Drugs based on large and complex molecules, such as biologics and biosimilars, are sensitive to oxygen and require an additional barrier function, especially in case of COC containers.

Light-Protect-Labels

For light-sensitive drugs in transparent containers, Schreiner MediPharm offers special label solutions enabling a multi-level protection against UV radiation and light. Each label design is customized to suit the particular container and meet the API’s specific light protection requirements. Thanks to an integrated re-closable inspection window, the container content can be checked in true color.

Reliable light protection is particularly challenging in case of prefilled syringes. Schreiner MediPharm's broad portfolio of functional labels for a wide range of syringe types and sizes enables the efficient implementation of customized UV and light protection for both COC and glass syringes. The Light-Protect-Label covers the syringe body, while Syringe-Closure-Wrap and the Cap-Lock Label with additional light protection functionality wrap around the syringe body and cap and even provide first-opening indication.

Freeze-Light-Protect Labels

For sensitive substances that are stored and transported at low sub-zero temperatures, Schreiner MediPharm developed deep-freeze labels that reliably adhere to COC syringes. In addition, the labels can be equipped with a variety of UV and light protection levels. Moreover, additional functionalities can be integrated into the Freeze-Light-Protect labels such as documentation labels, inspection windows for checking the syringe content and a graduation.

Labels with Gas Barrier Function

Functional Labels with gas barrier from Schreiner MediPharm can significantly reduce oxygen diffusion in COC syringes due to their special material selection and design. Two variants are available: a Gas-Protect-Label covering the syringe barrel and a Syringe-Closure-Wrap label with an additional barrier function that wraps around the syringe barrel and the cap and is sealed at the upper end. Syringe-Closure-Wrap additionally offers an integrated first-opening indication.

Hanger Label Pharma-Tac

Specialty label with integrated hanger for infusion bottles

Pharma-Tac: Easy Suspension of Infusion Bottles

Hectic and time pressure determine the daily medical routine in hospitals, clinics and medical practices. Infusions have to be administered quickly, easily and safely in just a few steps. Schreiner MediPharm’s hanger label Pharma-Tac offers a particularly efficient combination of product marking and suspension device for infusion bottles: The stable and tear-resistant hanger is integrated into the identification label and is simply detached from it to suspend the bottle from any holding rack. We will be happy to advise you on the optimal solution for your application. This results in a customized hanger label that can be equipped with useful additional functions to support medical staff in their daily work.

In addition, security features for product and counterfeit protection as well as RFID/NFC chips for interactive applications can be integrated.

Documentation Labels Pharma-Comb

Labels with detachable parts to prevent medication errors.

Documentation Labels: Clearly Document, Identify and Avoid Medication Errors

When administering medications, correct labeling of the preparation and subsequent documentation is essential. Handwritten entries in the patient's medical record or vaccination pass, such as drug name, batch number or expiration date, are often difficult to read. In particular, if a drug is refilled from the original to another container and suitable means for reliable identification are lacking, important information may be lost. Schreiner MediPharm's Pharma-Comb labels make documentation and identification safe and easy: They contain one or more detachable parts printed with the most important data and are customized to fit the specific application. Thus, drug containers can be clearly labeled after refilling processes and the medication can be documented without errors after administration.
