  We extend a factorization theorem by Gwo\'zdziewicz and Hejmej from the ring
of formal power series to any complete regular local ring $ R $. More
precisely, let $ f \in R $ and assume that its Newton polyhedron has a loose
edge such that the initial formal of $ f $ along the latter is a product of two
coprime polynomials, where one of them is not divided by any variable. Then
this provides a factorization of $ f $ in $ R $. As a consequence we obtain a
factorization theorem for Weierstra{\ss} polynomials with coefficients in $ R
$, which generalizes an earlier result by Rond and the author.
