As a supplier of injectable medicines, hameln recognise the importance of getting things right first time

The risks associated with using injectable medicines in clinical areas have been recognised for some time. Traditionally, product packaging was viewed by the pharmaceutical industry as a marketing tool to show off corporate design and logos. At hameln, we have been increasingly aware of the importance of packaging as a medical device to aid healthcare workers identify the correct product accurately and efficiently, to minimise the risk of errors and enhance patient safety.

In the fields of intensive care medicine and anaesthesiology - the most frequently used applications for our parenteral drugs - users must be able to select the right medication correctly first time and every time. We are convinced that good packaging can significantly reduce the risk of incorrect administration of medication.

Our packaging is therefore created using design criteria that we have developed based on international legal requirements and in collaboration with clinical specialists, providing effective product identification and differentiation.
