HealthPack 2010 Call for Packages

As you know, HealthPack 2010, taking place March 2-4, at the Sheraton Gunter, San Antonio, TX - is shaping up!

This year, the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) community is being surveyed and HealthPack will again have nursing professionals come in to participate on a panel, giving feedback on various medical device packaging configurations and answer questions submitted by attendees.

This year's nurses' survey is intended to see how emergency room nurses view packaging and how it compares to HealthPack's previous surveys with the Association of periOperative Nurses (AORN). The survey is again being conducted by Jennifer Blocher, Medical Device Applications Specialist, Sealed Air Corporation.

If you have any ER nurses in your life that you think would like to participate in the survey, please contact Jennifer Blocher at jennifer.blocher@sealedair.com with their information and she will maker sure the link is sent to them.

As for the nurses' panel - we have invited local nurses to come in and give HealthPack participants feedback on different medical device packages. This means we are looking for volunteers to donate packaged product (in quantities of 4 - one for each nurse) for them to analyze. This was a HUGE success last year - what better opportunity for you to get live feedback on your package design!!!

Please contact Jennifer Neid at jneid@toplastics.com if you are interested in submitting one of your packaging configurations to be used for the nurses panel.
