Today, MedPro Safety Products, the Lexington, Kentucky-based developer of innovative safety-focused products that cut across multiple product categories in medication delivery and blood collection, reported that the results of a recent survey of 497 pharmacy professionals (conducted at the American Society of Health System Pharmacists Mid-Year Clinical Meeting in Dec 2011) suggest significant interest exists for a new pre-filled drug delivery platform.
These results are excellent news for MPSP, which has developed an impressive array of medical devices/products for phlebotomy and drug delivery applications. MPSP products are designed to incorporate automatic and/or semi-automatic activation systems, a feature which has been shown to be effective in reducing healthcare worker needlestick injury, as well as eliminating the risk of accidental reuse.
Phlebotomy
• VACUETTE® PREMIUM Safety Needle System Tube-Touch – an integrated, multiple sample needle and safety shield which automatically releases on insertion, then immediately covers the needle after blood collection (available in 20G, 21G, and 22G)
Drug Delivery
• Prefilled Passive Safety Syringe (MedPro Drug Delivery Platform component) – prefilled cartridge system with safety shield that automatically releases during injection, covering the needle immediately after drug delivery (available in 0.5ml – 3ml range)
• Prefilled IV Shuttle (MedPro Drug Delivery Platform component) – compatible with all needle free valves on the market, the prefilled IV shuttle was designed for nurses and features an audible click that confirms drug delivery (available in 0.5ml – 10ml range)
• MedPro Passive Safety Hypodermic Syringe – automatic safety shield mechanism, available for CM, IM, and ID injections, with a design that allows a syringe barrel for patient labeling data
The Company is preparing to launch its prefilled, fully-passive safety syringe/IV shuttle platform and is actively seeking commercialization partners. The only real options out there right now for healthcare professionals are considered hard to use, difficult to learn, and ultimately too complex in terms of parts/steps. Extant offerings just aren’t a realistic solution for the hectic work environment healthcare professionals must contend with on a daily basis and these complex devices even contribute to needlestick injury because of their failings. MedPro is ready to change the game with their innovative drug delivery system and the company will be exhibiting the platform in Paris, France, this Feb 15-16, at the drug packaging/delivery industry event PharmaPack.
Chairman and CEO of MPSP, Wm. Craig Turner, underscored the Company’s interest in expanding strategic partnerships, in order to fully maximize commercial potential of the robust pipeline MPSP has developed, while broadening MedPro’s scope from phlebotomy sharps to include the cutting-edge in ultra-safe drug delivery and medical other devices.
