Abstract: A structure including a plurality of receptacles that are adapted and arranged for accommodating containers for pharmaceutical, medical and/or cosmetic compositions; b. a first planar component that at least partially surrounds the plurality of receptacles, wherein the first planar component i. has a maximum height that is less than or equal to 3 mm; ii. includes at least two openings of a first kind, wherein the following applies to each of the at least two openings of the first kind: A. extends through the first planar component, and B. includes a boundary surface that extends around at least 80% of a circumference of the respective opening of the first kind.

Abstract: A nest (10) for the storage of medical device components, including a top surface (12), a bottom surface (14), and a plurality of receptacles (20) for the storage of a plurality of medical device components therein, wherein each of the plurality of receptacles (20) includes a sidewall portion (22) extending downward from the bottom surface (14) of the nest (10). The nest (10) further includes a plurality of openings (26) formed in the top surface (12) and a plurality of stacking pins (28) extending from the bottom surface (14). Each of the plurality of openings (26) is substantially aligned with a respective one of the plurality of stacking pins (28) so as to enable two or more nests (10) to be stacked vertically relative to one another via association between the openings (26) and the stacking pins (28).

Abstract: A first structure including a first plurality of receptacles, for accommodating containers for pharmaceutical, medical, and/or cosmetic compositions, wherein the first plurality of receptacles include protrusions extending into interiors of the receptacles; wherein the first plurality of receptacles are adapted and arranged such that when the first structure is arranged in contact with a further structure, including a further plurality of receptacles, wherein the further plurality of receptacles include protrusions extending into interiors of the receptacles, at least one or all of the following applies: I. 30% or less of the first plurality of receptacles are in contact with the protrusions of the further plurality of receptacles, and/or, II. 30% or less of the further plurality of receptacles are in contact with the protrusions of the first plurality of receptacles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for long-term storage of a pharmaceutical composition particularly comprising a syringe. The system comprises an adapter for fixing a needle to the syringe barrel providing improved container closure integrity.

Abstract: A structure has a plurality of receptacles, wherein a. the receptacles are adapted and arranged for receiving a plurality of containers; b. each receptacle, of the plurality of receptacles, includes a sidewall defining an interior of a respective receptacle, wherein i. at least one protrusion is arranged on the sidewall and extends into the interior of the respective receptacle, ii. the at least one protrusion has a first end and a further end, wherein A. the first end is arranged opposite the further end, B. the first end is attached to the sidewall; wherein at least one section of the further end of the at least one protrusion is adapted and arranged to be movable with respect to the sidewall on which the protrusion is arranged.

Abstract: An assembly has a first structure and a further structure. The first structure includes a first plurality of receptacles for at least partially accommodating a plurality of containers, and that have a first end and a further end. The further structure includes a further plurality of receptacles for at least partially accommodating the plurality of containers and has a first surface and a further surface, opposite the first surface. A force is exerted along a further direction on the containers when the containers are being inserted into and/or removed from the further structure along a first direction. The structures are positioned such that an average distance between the further ends of the first plurality of receptacles and the first surface of the further structure is less than 5 cm, and the first plurality of receptacles is at least partially aligned with the further plurality of receptacles.

Abstract: A holding structure for concurrently holding a plurality of primary packaging containers for substances for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic applications, the holding structure including a plurality of receptacles for accommodating at least a section of the elongated cylindrical body region of the primary packaging container, each receptacle having a depth, an upper end for inserting the primary packaging container into the receptacle, a bottom end having a holding portion configured to limit an axial movement of the primary packaging container in the receptacle, a circumferentially formed side wall extending in a longitudinal direction from the upper end to the bottom end and a longitudinal axis, alignment elements in each receptacle projecting radially into the receptacle to contact the outer surface of the primary packaging container; wherein the alignment elements arranged so that a primary packaging container accommodated in the receptacle in a resting position is tilted by an angle ? of not more than

Abstract: A structure comprising a plurality of receptacles, wherein the receptacles are adapted and arranged for receiving a plurality of containers; each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles includes a sidewall defining an interior of a respective receptacle, wherein the sidewall includes at least one protrusion extending into the interior of the respective receptacle; wherein the at least one protrusion extends a first distance into the interior of the respective receptacle, wherein the first distance is in the range from >0 to 1.5 mm.
