Gx InnoSafe: customized syringe safety for manufacturers and users
With their exposed cannulas, used syringes are an omnipresent source of danger in medical practices, labs, or hospitals. Existing needle protection systems reduce the risk of injury for the user, but require additional effort for filling on the part of the pharmaceutical companies and with respect to the use of the syringe by medical personnel. With Gx InnoSafe, Gerresheimer introduces a syringe with an integrated safety system for the avoidance of needlestick injuries that fulfils the current requirements of the pharmaceuticals industry and of users equally.
One careless movement is enough for medical specialists to injure themselves on unprotected, used syringe cannulas or come into contact with aggressive active ingredients. In the most adverse case, this can result in serious infections. There is also a danger that used syringes may accidentally be used a second time. Gx InnoSafe provides reliable protection against needlestick injuries and eliminates the possibility of reuse. In contrast with many existing solutions, the needle protection mechanism is activated automatically and requires no additional actions. This involves a passive needle protection system. Also of advantage to the pharmacists is the processing of the Gx InnoSafe syringes, which can take place on existing lines in the nested state without significant changes. An additional installation step of a safety system, as is usual on the market, is dispensed with.
