SnapSlide has announced the debut of its SnapSlide prescription vials in the US, with two Pennsylvania pharmacies now offering the packaging technology.
The SnapSlide vial system features a sliding closure that eliminates the need to push down and twist, which the company says makes it easier to open, dose and close for seniors, individuals with arthritis and patients with limited hand strength or dexterity.
Plus, the system still adheres to official levels of child resistance.
It has already received international recognition for its patented design and patient-friendly operation, earning multiple awards for both innovation and sustainability in the plastics and packaging industries.
"Customers are responding very positively to SnapSlide because it combines child-resistant safety with ease of opening," said Eric Pusey, Owner of Better Health Pharmacy & Wellness.
This new design helps individuals with arthritis, limited hand strength and other dexterity challenges manage their medications more independently.
"The initial supply was met with an incredibly positive response," added Chris Hampel, Owner of Family Prescription Counter.
There are more people out there than I realised who have difficulty with something I took for granted all these years: having easy access to their medication. SnapSlide provides the solution.
Notably, SnapSlide said that its closure system has proven substantially more popular compared with conventional vial closures, regardless of dexterity issues.
"We’re excited to see this solution reach patients everywhere, beginning with those in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market, where the product was born," said Chason Sordoni, Chief Operating Officer at SnapSlide.
Independent pharmacies often lead the way in adopting meaningful changes that truly impact patient lives and we're proud to partner with Family Prescription Counter and Better Health Pharmacy & Wellness.
