Traveling with growth hormones, new solutions

HealthWorks France has created a special kit so that the users of growth hormones can travel with their medication, knowing that it is kept at the right temperature at all times. Growth hormones are highly sensitive to heat and cold and must at all times be kept at temperatures between 2 and 8°C. If growth hormones are exposed to extreme temperatures, they very quickly loose their efficiency. These constraints make it very difficult for users to travel overseas, a fact exacerbated by the fact that most users of growth children are children, who often have difficulty in following medical regimens.

The MedActiv Hormone Kit is composed of the revolutionary Medifridge (the world’s smallest fridge) and of the PenPlus isothermic travel bag. With this kit, growth hormone users can travel anytime, any place and still keep their medication at a safe temperature between 2 and 8°C. The MedActiv Kit gives users the freedom to take responsibility for their health during their travels.

Winner of the Concours Lépine in Paris, the Medifridge can contain two growth hormones pens. It is compatible with the growth hormones of Novo Nordisk (Nordipen/Norditropine), of Ipsen (Nutropinaq), of Sandoz (Omnitrope), of Merck-Serono (Saizen) and of a number of other brands. It is also delivered with a car adaptor that allows it to be plugged in the cigarette lighter of a car for long trips across country. A pre-setting of the temperature stops the temperature of the fridge from going below 2°C to avoid accidental freezing of the medication.

HealthWorks has also developed a new isothermic bag that is particularly well suited for growth hormones. The PenPlus keeps the medications between 2 and 8°C for up to 11 hours. It is discreet and elegant and allows the users to make short trips in complete security.

HealthWorks will present its new solutions for the transport and storage of sensitive medications at the Concours Lépine at the Paris Fair, between the 29 April and the 9th of May.
