Abstract
Labeling and packaging systems include a primary packaging with a top seam and a bottom seam, and enclosing a medical device within its interior cavity. The system further comprises a label system, which consists of a first body with a front surface and a rear surface, extending over a frontal plane and attached to the front surface of the primary packaging. Additionally, the label system includes a first right handle and a first left handle, both attached to the top edge of the first body. A tear line extends longitudinally from the top edge of the first body, and is disposed between the right handle and the left handle. The tear line has a distance (d) that is less than a length (L) of the first body. The tear line is designed to facilitate separation when the right handle is pulled in the opposite direction from the left handle.
