Abstract: A method is provided for protecting tubing protruding from a container, in particular a bottle, containing a pharmaceutical fluid. The method includes providing the container filled with the pharmaceutical fluid, from which the tubing protrudes, and providing a layer of foam and/or a body of foam surrounding the tubing, preferably in its entirety, with a shell such that the layer of foam and/or body of foam is interposed between the tubing and the shell. A body of the container remains outside of the shell, attaching the shell to the container, and freezing the container and the shell surrounding the tubing.

Abstract: An injection device configured for attachment to the skin of a patient using an adhesive layer includes a release liner covering the adhesive layer thereby preventing skin attachment. The release liner comprises a sheet of material where a first surface contacts the adhesive layer, and an aperture defining a passage for a film connected to a first sterile barrier film located within the injection device. An end of the film is connected to a second surface of the sheet of material that is opposite to the first surface, and the release liner is covered by a strengthening sheet connected to the second surface and covering the aperture and the end of the film.
