In a pilot study, we tested three types of the modified peelable
meat packages produced using different sets of sealing parameters.
Ten patients (six women, four men) with hand disorders and a
mean age of 63 years were asked to open these packages. All the
test packages looked exactly the same: size, content, cover, and
laterally placed notch. The only differences were in the abovementioned
sealing parameters. The patients opened all packages
in their usual way and without aids. The opening process was
filmed with a video camera so that any difficulties with the packaging
could be evaluated objectively. Each time they opened a
package, the patients completed a questionnaire about their subjective
difficulties in opening it, including the seal, tear tab size, tear
tab palpability, visibility of the opening mechanism, force required,
pain during the opening process, and problems with the fine motor
skills. The patients also evaluated the laterally placed notch. Based
on the results, we adapted the packaging and decided what technical
configurations would be the best for the patients, bearing in
mind that the contents always have to be packed safely.
