Gerresheimer To Launch Innovative Syringe Safety Solution

It was reported in the news late July that German-based Gerresheimer, a leading supplier of prefillable glass/plastic syringes will complete its product portfolio with an innovative, integrated, passive syringe safety solution, acquired through an exclusive licence from West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. The high amount of needlestick-related injuries among healthcare workers has led to increasing demand for innovative safety solutions. International regulation has paved the way for more safety for healthcare workers and patients. The new Gerresheimer integrated safety syringe will address this market need by offering improved syringe processability and high-end user friendliness.
