Safety first for device
Wednesday, 02 July, 2008
Safety Medical Products [ASX: SFP] has been awarded TGA certification for its new pen needle aid device.
The device is designed to allow diabetics and health industry workers to recap and unscrew the tips on pen needles without having to do so by hand and risk the chance of sustaining an injury from the tip. The cap is instead held in place by the device.
SafetyMed will be promoting the device in Australia alongside its range of insulin pen needles, which yesterday became available on the National Diabetes Services Scheme [NDSS].
