Our specialties included medical trials, regulatory texts, informed consent forms, material safety data sheets, certificates, medical device IFU's, press releases, and various articles on medical and cosmetic areas. Companies we worked for includes Avon, Abbott, Farmatek, Christian Dior, Kozmosan, Kansuk.
